These keto cheese roll ups turn three deli-counter staples into a creamy, savory snack you can assemble in minutes. No bread, no cooking, and just over a gram of net carbs per serving make them a reliable go-to whenever a low-carb craving hits.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices deli ham (about 8 oz total)
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese (about 6 oz total)
  • 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, chives, and black pepper until smooth and spreadable.

  2. 2

    Lay a slice of ham flat on a clean cutting board and top with a slice of cheddar, trimming the cheese so it sits just inside the ham edges.

  3. 3

    Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the cheddar, leaving a small border at one end so the roll seals.

  4. 4

    Starting from the short end, roll each stack up tightly into a log. Repeat with the remaining ham and cheese.

  5. 5

    For firmer roll ups, chill the logs for 15 minutes, then slice each into bite-size pinwheels or leave whole. Serve cold.

Tips & notes

  • Use a thicker-cut deli ham so the rolls hold their shape and don't tear when rolled.
  • Swap cheddar for provolone, Swiss, or pepper jack to vary the flavor without changing the carb count.
  • Secure pinwheels with toothpicks if packing for lunch, and keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
