👩🍳 How to Make Cream Cheese Pickle Rolls
Step 1: Prepare the Pickles
Pat the pickles dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the cream cheese stick better.
Step 2: Spread the Cream Cheese
Lay a slice of deli ham flat on a cutting board. Spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese over the entire slice.
Step 3: Add the Pickle
Place one whole pickle at one end of the ham slice.
Step 4: Roll It Up
Tightly roll the ham around the pickle, creating a log shape.
Step 5: Slice
Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into ½–1 inch thick slices.
Step 6: Chill & Serve
For best results, refrigerate for 20–30 minutes before serving to firm up.
