Ham Roll Ups
Description
This recipe involves layering softened or whipped cream cheese evenly over deli ham slices and placing halved pickle spears on one edge before rolling tightly. The rolls can be sliced into smaller pieces or served whole as convenient finger foods. The cream cheese provides a smooth, mild base that complements the salty ham and the crisp acidity of the pickles.
Keeping the roll-ups chilled before serving helps maintain their shape and fresh texture. They work well as appetizers, picnic snacks, or party offerings alongside other small bites.
The recipe notes recommend specific deli ham brands known for uniform slices and suggest alternative deli meats if desired. Using whipped cream cheese makes spreading easier, but softened block cream cheese works as well. Draining pickles well prevents sogginess.
Leftovers should be refrigerated and can be kept for up to four days, making these roll-ups practical for advance preparation.
Ingredients
- 16 lices (About 1 pound) deli ham see note 1, sliced
- 8 ounces cream cheese see note 2, whipped
- 8 dill pickles halved lengthwise and drained on paper towels (see note 3, spears
Instructions
- Working with one slice of ham at a time, lay ham on a flat surface. Spread evenly with cream cheese, going all the way to the edges.
- Place one pickle spear half on the short edge of the ham slice and roll tightly. Repeat with remaining ham, cream cheese, and pickles. Slice or serve whole.
Notes
- Keep the roll ups chilled until serving to maintain texture and shape.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Choose deli ham with uniform slices; alternatives like corned beef or turkey can be used.
- Whipped cream cheese spreads more easily than block cream cheese but both work.
- Drain pickle spears well to avoid soggy roll ups.
