Notes

  • Ham: Choose ham that is thick enough to roll with no visible holes. You want to avoid thinly shaved ham.
  • You can use a flavored cream cheese if you prefer.
  • Feel free to use all olives or all pickles, if you prefer, or try swapping the olives for briny capers!
  • You can add different fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, or parsley!
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature so that it's easy to spread.
  • Take care not to overfill the ham slices; otherwise, the filling will ooze out.
  • You can skewer the ham roll ups with toothpicks for an easy-to-grab appetizer.
  • Keep these ham rolls chilled in the refrigerator until ready to eat. This will help keep the filling firm!
Storage: Store ham roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
