Instructions
- Mix the cream cheese with horseradish and paprika to create a spread. Add a little milk if needed to make it easier to spread.

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother spread, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. If you want a little heat, try adding a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture. You can easily substitute the ham with turkey or roast beef for variety. Consider using flavored cream cheese for an extra kick, and don't hesitate to add herbs like dill for a fresh touch.
