Ingredients
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese and spread it evenly on slices of ham.

- Place the rolled-ups in the refrigerator until thoroughly cooled.
- Slice into 1/4 inch or larger pieces and serve on a plate.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a touch of horseradish to the cream cheese or incorporating herbs like dill or chives. If you want a twist, you could substitute turkey or roast beef for the ham. For a creamier texture, use whipped cream cheese. These roll-ups can also be made ahead of time, making them perfect for gatherings alongside other appetizers like Bacon Cheddar Appetizers.
Serving Suggestions
These Party Ham Roll-Ups are excellent as a finger food for parties or game day snacks. Serve them on a platter with toothpicks for easy picking. They pair wonderfully with fresh veggie sticks or a dip like ranch. For a full spread, consider offering alongside dishes like Hill Country Potato Salad or Sweet And Tasty Baked Beans.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to 3 days. If you'd like to enjoy them warm, you can microwave them briefly, but be cautious not to overheat, as the cream cheese can become too soft. For best flavor, serve them cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the roll-ups a day in advance. Just keep them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld, making them even more delicious when served.
What can I substitute for cream cheese?
If you're looking for a lighter option, consider using Greek yogurt or a dairy-free cream cheese alternative. Both will provide a creamy texture, although the flavor will differ slightly. Adjust seasonings accordingly to enhance the taste.
Can I add other ingredients to the roll-ups?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment by adding slices of pickles, bell peppers, or even a smear of mustard inside the roll. These additions can give your roll-ups a unique twist and cater to different taste preferences.
