Ingredients:

8 pickles
160g
2 cups cream cheese
480g
6 oz ham
170g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Pickles: Drain and pat dry, ensuring no excess liquid remains. You can cut them in half lengthwise if they are particularly large.
- Ham: If the ham slices are large or thick, consider cutting them into more manageable sizes for wrapping.
2. Soften the Cream Cheese:
- Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to soften, making it easier to spread.
3. Spread the Cream Cheese:
- Lay out a slice of ham flat on a clean surface, such as a cutting board.
- Using a butter knife or a spatula, spread a generous and even layer of cream cheese across the entire surface of the ham slice.
4. Add the Pickles:
- Place one pickle (or half, depending on size) at the edge of the ham slice. Ensure it’s positioned neatly as this will form the center of the roll-up.
5. Roll Them Up:
- Starting from the side where the pickle is placed, carefully roll the ham slice around the pickle tightly but without squeezing hard enough to rupture the pickle. The cream cheese will help to hold the roll together.
6. Repeat:
- Continue this process with the remaining slices of ham, cream cheese, and pickles until all ingredients are used up.
7. Chill (Optional):
- For firmer, neater slices, you can cover the roll-ups and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes. This step will make them easier to cut and better maintain their shape.
8. Serve:
- Using a sharp knife, slice each roll-up into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches wide. Arrange them neatly on a serving plate.
9. Enjoy:
- These ham and pickle cream cheese roll-ups are perfect for appetizers, party snacks, or a tasty finger food option for gatherings. Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated until serving time.

Tips:

- Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature before spreading for easier application.

- Use a paper towel to pat dry the pickles to prevent excess moisture from making the roll-ups soggy.

- For an extra flavor boost, you can season the cream cheese with a bit of garlic powder, dill, or other favorite herbs.

- If you prefer, you can use different types of ham such as smoked or honey-glazed to add a unique taste to the roll-ups.

- For easy slicing, chill the roll-ups in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before cutting.
