Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of cream cheese onto each slice of ham.

- Roll the ham tightly around the green onion to form a wrap.
- Repeat with remaining ham slices and green onions.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider mixing herbs or spices into the cream cheese, such as garlic powder or chives. If you want a healthier option, try using low-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt as a substitute. You can also add diced bell peppers or cucumbers for extra crunch. For a unique twist, try wrapping with flavored ham like honey or smoked varieties.
Serving Suggestions
These Ham and Onion Wrap-Ups make a fantastic appetizer at parties and pair well with dips like ranch or mustard. Serve them alongside a light salad or some fresh veggies for a balanced meal. They also go nicely with other party snacks, such as Bacon Cheddar Muffins for a delightful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain freshness, avoid stacking the wraps directly on top of each other. Reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving, but they are best enjoyed cold as a refreshing snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these wrap-ups ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the wraps a few hours in advance. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out. However, it's best to add the green onions right before serving to keep them crisp.
What type of ham works best for this recipe?
Wafer-thin deli ham is ideal for these wrap-ups as it rolls easily around the green onions. Options like turkey or chicken ham can also work well if you're looking for a leaner alternative.
Can I use other vegetables besides green onions?
Absolutely! You can experiment with other vegetables like sliced bell peppers, cucumbers, or even carrots for added crunch and flavor. Just ensure they are cut into long, thin pieces to wrap easily with the ham.
