Ingredients
- 8 slices deli ham (about 8 oz total)
- 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese, cut into thin sticks
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1/2 medium dill pickle, cut into thin spears (optional)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, chopped chives, and black pepper until smooth and spreadable.
- 2
Lay the ham slices flat on a clean cutting board, patting them dry with a paper towel if they're wet.
- 3
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each ham slice, all the way to the edges.
- 4
Place a stick of cheddar (and a pickle spear, if using) along one short edge of each slice.
- 5
Roll each ham slice up tightly around the filling to form a snug log.
- 6
For bite-size pieces, slice each roll into 3-4 pinwheels; otherwise serve whole. Secure with a toothpick if needed and chill until ready to eat.
Tips & notes
- Substitute prosciutto or turkey breast for the ham, or swap cheddar for provolone, Swiss, or pepper jack to change up the flavor.
- Store rolled (uncut) logs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; slice just before serving to keep the pinwheels neat.
- For extra crunch and zero added carbs, tuck a few thin cucumber strips or baby spinach leaves inside before rolling.
