This is an EASY appetizer! With only 3 ingredients to make the basic ham and cheese roll-ups, you can whip these babies out in no time.

Get creative and add olives, slices of cheese, chives, bacon, salami, etc. Your options are endless!

I laid these out on a slate platter and they actually ended up looking like cute little sushi. 🙂 You can make these as simple or as elaborate as you’d like!

Since these are so quick to make, they make a great after-school snack. Some kids don’t like horseradish so feel free to take out. You could substitute some ranch seasoning or other flavorings if you’d like. Rolling up some cheese slices makes these even tastier and kid-friendly!

What You’ll Need to Make (Keto) Ham Rollups

Tools

• Cutting Board
• Butter knife or spreader
• Small mixing bowl
• Spoon
• Knife

Ingredients

• 8 oz Danish ham, (rectangle sliced ham)
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 2 tbsp horseradish
• Cheddar cheese
• Chives

How To Make Ham and Cheese Rollups

Step One | Make Cheese Filling

Mix cream cheese, horseradish in a small bowl.

Step Two | Spread Cheese Mixture

Lay ham slices flat on a cutting board. Dry ham well with a paper towel. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over all slices.

Step Three | Roll and Slice

At this point you can roll ham slices and slice into 6 pieces. However, feel free to stuff with cheddar cheese slices, olives, chives, or a combination of any. Get creative! I’ve used, cheese slices cut the width of the ham slices. I also did this with the chives. Olives are easy because you can lay them all in a row and it ends of being 1 olive per ham roll up. I love the look of the pimento stuffed olives, they’re so pretty.

Step Four | Serve or Refrigerate

Refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes 6 ham and cheese roll ups per each slice of ham you’ve rolled up.
