Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz. cream cheese (1 brick, softened; use a flavored cream cheese if you prefer)
- ¼ cup diced olives (green or black)
- ¼ cup diced dill pickles
- 1 green onion (finely sliced)
Wrap
- 10 slices deli ham
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Add diced olives, diced dill pickles, and finely sliced green onion, then mix again on medium speed until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Spread the Mixture on Ham: Lay one slice of deli ham flat on a clean cutting board. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly from edge to edge of the ham slice.
- Roll the Ham: Carefully roll the ham slice into a tight log, ensuring the filling stays inside. Transfer the roll to a plate.
- Repeat Rolling: Repeat the spreading and rolling process with the remaining ham slices until all are rolled.
- Chill: Cover the plate with the rolled ham and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and rolls to firm up.
- Slice the Rolls: Remove from the refrigerator and slice each roll into 1-inch pieces to create bite-sized roll ups.
- Serve: Arrange the sliced roll ups on a serving platter and enjoy immediately as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- You can substitute plain cream cheese with flavored varieties like garlic and herb or garden vegetable for extra flavor.
- Using firm deli ham slices works best for easy rolling without tearing.
- Chilling the rolls is important to help the cream cheese firm up and hold its shape when sliced.
- These roll ups can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Add other ingredients like chopped bell peppers or shredded cheese to customize filling.
