Horse Roll-Ups
Horse roll-ups are savory appetizers filled with a creamy horseradish and cream cheese spread, wrapped in corned beef, perfect for parties and cold gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream the cream cheese and horseradish together.
- Adjust the amount of horseradish to taste, up to 1 tablespoon.
- Spread the mixture evenly on slices of corned beef.
- Roll up the slices with the spread inside.
- Freeze the rolled corned beef.
- Cut the frozen rolls into 1/2-inch rounds.
- Serve immediately or make ahead and freeze for later.
Tips & Substitutions
For a milder flavor, start with a smaller amount of horseradish and gradually increase to suit your taste. If you're looking for a creamier texture, consider mixing in a bit of sour cream or Greek yogurt. For an alternative protein, turkey or chicken slices can be used instead of corned beef. These roll-ups can also be served as a part of a charcuterie board alongside cheeses and crackers.
Serving Suggestions
These Horse Roll-Ups are perfect as an appetizer for parties or gatherings. Serve them alongside a tangy dipping sauce or a fresh vegetable platter. They pair wonderfully with drinks and are a great complement to dishes like Lemon Custard Meringue Pie for dessert. For a more substantial meal, serve them with a side of Ginger'S Onion And Potato Soup to balance out flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. To enjoy, simply thaw them in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. If you prefer to serve them warm, you can briefly microwave them in 10-second intervals until just heated through, being careful not to overdo it.
