Why You'll ❤️ This Ham Roll Recipe

These ham roll ups remind me of my childhood. My Grandmother made these at almost every gathering - and they were a FAVORITE of mine! -Kori

Easy and Simple Appetizer

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!

Perfect After-School Snack

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!

Make Ahead Party Food For A Crowd

🥘 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.

Cook bacon, use strips of salami, strips of cut cheese, green onions, thin strips of carrots all work great
