Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Dill pickles
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 6 slices Thinly sliced deli ham
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp Chopped fresh dill (optional)
Instructions
Drain the dill pickles thoroughly using a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for a few minutes, or microwave it for 10-15 seconds. (Optional: Mix in garlic powder and fresh dill to add extra flavor.)
On a clean work surface, lay out a slice of deli ham.
Spread a thin, even layer of cream cheese over the entire slice of ham using a butter knife or silicone spatula.
Place one dill pickle at one end of the ham slice. Roll the ham tightly around the pickle, forming a neat wrap.
Repeat the process for all pickles, ham slices, and cream cheese.
Once all pickles are wrapped, transfer them to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pieces for bite-sized servings.
Arrange the pieces on a platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
