Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 6 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 12 slices Thinly sliced deli ham
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, place the cream cheese. Allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier mixing.
Finely chop 2 of the scallions and set the rest aside. Add the chopped scallions, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl with the cream cheese.
Using a spoon or spatula, mix the cream cheese mixture until all the ingredients are evenly combined and smooth.
Lay one slice of deli ham flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the ham slice, making sure to cover the surface almost to the edges.
Place one whole scallion stalk lengthwise along one edge of the ham slice.
Starting at the edge with the scallion, gently roll the ham slice into a tight log, enclosing the scallion in the center.
Repeat steps 4–7 with the remaining ham slices, cream cheese mixture, and scallions.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 3 to 4 bite-sized pieces. Arrange the pieces seam-side down on a serving platter.
Optional: Lightly sprinkle paprika over the rolls for a touch of color and added flavor.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your low-carb blast from the past!
