Ingredients:
- Ham slices
- Cream cheese
- Dill pickle spears
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ham: Take two slices of ham and overlap them so that the top slice is halfway onto the bottom slice. This will create a larger surface area for rolling.
-
Spread Cream Cheese: Spread a layer of cream cheese over the entire surface of the ham slices. You can adjust the thickness of the cream cheese according to your preference, whether you prefer a generous spread or a lighter coating.
-
Add Pickle Spear: Place a dill pickle spear at one end of the bottom ham slice. The pickle spear will add a delicious tanginess to the roll-ups, balancing out the flavors.
-
Roll Up: Carefully roll the ham slices with the cream cheese and pickle spear inside. Roll tightly to ensure the ingredients stay enclosed.
-
Chill (Optional): If you’re making these roll-ups for yourself, you can enjoy them immediately. However, if you’re preparing them to share, or if you prefer a firmer texture, place the rolled-up ham in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes. This will make them easier to slice.
-
Slice and Serve: Once chilled, remove the ham roll-ups from the freezer and slice them into thick pieces. You can use a sharp knife for clean cuts. If desired, spear each slice with toothpicks for easy serving.
