Ingredients
Scale
Pickles
- 15 baby dill pickles
Dairy
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Meat
- 16 ounces thin sliced honey ham
Instructions
- Dry the Pickles: Remove the baby dill pickles from the jar and place them on paper towels to dry thoroughly. Dry pickles ensure a crisp texture in the final roll ups.
- Prepare the Ham: If your ham slices are moist, pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will help the roll ups maintain their shape and prevent sogginess.
- Assemble the Roll Ups: Lay out 2 to 3 slices of thin honey ham flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese evenly over the ham slices. Place two dried pickles at one end of the ham, then carefully roll the ham around the pickles to enclose them.
- Slice the Roll Ups: Once all rolls are assembled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll up into 4 to 5 bite-sized pieces. The ends may not hold perfectly and can be enjoyed as snacks.
- Store and Serve: Place the sliced roll ups in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Keep chilled to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened slightly above room temperature for easy spreading.
- Drying the pickles and ham well is key to preventing soggy roll ups.
- The ends of the roll ups may fall apart but are perfect for snacking.
- These roll ups are best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
