Ingredients

  • 16 lices (About 1 pound) sliced deli ham (see note 1)
  • 8 ounces whipped cream cheese (see note 2)
  • 8 dill pickle spears halved lengthwise and drained on paper towels (see note 3)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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 chilled until serving time. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Deli ham: My favorite ham in the world is Badger Baked Ham. Beyond a good brand (Boar's Head Deluxe Ham is also excellent), choose a ham that has uniform slices rather than unevenly shaved ham. Or substitute corned beef, roast beef, turkey, or any deli meat you love.
  • Cream cheese: You can use regular block cream cheese, but I usually buy the whipped variety because it's easier to handle and spreads well. If you buy the block, just be sure to soften it up a bit.
  • Pickle spears: Claussen's refrigerated pickles are my favorite, but there are lots of good brands out there, and everyone has their favorites. Buy the spears and slice them in half, or buy the halves and slice them into quarters or more.
  • Yield: One batch of this recipe makes 16 whole pickle roll ups. That's enough for at least 16 servings (if each person eats a pickle's worth) or more if served as part of a buffet with lots of options.
  • Storage: Keep chilled until serving time. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
