🥘 What You'll Need
Here's what you'll need to make keto ham rollups.
Ingredients
Danish Ham Slices - rectangle sliced ham
Cream Cheese - use full fat or non fat
Horseradish
Cheddar Cheese - use any favorite cheese.
Fresh 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 them 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 to 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 up being 1 olive per ham roll-up. I love the look of the pimento-stuffed olives, and they're so pretty.
Step Four. Serve or Refrigerate
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes 6 ham and cheese roll-ups per slice of ham you've rolled up.
