Ingredients
- 6 slices of ham
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup finely chopped olives (green or black, depending on preference)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Creamy Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese with the mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Stir in the finely chopped olives, incorporating them thoroughly into the creamy base.
-
Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay out each slice of ham on a flat surface. Evenly spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice of ham, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
-
Roll and Chill: Carefully roll up each ham slice tightly around the filling, creating neat, compact rolls. Arrange the rolls on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and makes slicing easier.
-
Slice and Serve: After the rolls have chilled, remove them from the refrigerator. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, perfect for serving. Arrange the slices on a platter and enjoy them as a delightful snack or appetizer. For added crunch and flavor, serve the Ham Roll-Ups on crackers.
