Step-by-Step Instructions
Making Ham and Pickle Roll-Ups is as satisfying as they are delicious! First, I start by softening the cream cheese in a mixing bowl. If you’re like me and often forget to take it out in advance, just pop it in the microwave for about 15 seconds—it’ll do the trick! Once the cream cheese is softened, I mix in the garlic powder and dill if I’m feeling fancy; this simple addition adds a lovely depth of flavor. Then, I take my deli ham slices and lay them out flat on a cutting board, making sure they don’t overlap too much. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
