Keto Ham Roll Ups (Printable Version)
Savory ham rolled with cream cheese, cheddar, and fresh vegetables for a quick low-carb bite.
# What You'll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 8 slices deli ham (preferably nitrate-free, approximately 7 oz)
→ Dairy
02 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 2 oz shredded cheddar cheese
→ Vegetables & Aromatics
04 - 1 small cucumber, julienned
05 - 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
06 - 2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced
→ Seasonings
07 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
08 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
# Method:
01 - Combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly until completely smooth and evenly incorporated.
02 - Lay individual ham slices flat on a clean work surface, ensuring they do not overlap.
03 - Distribute approximately 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture across each ham slice, spreading evenly to cover surface while leaving edges slightly clear.
04 - Place julienned cucumber and bell pepper strips along one short edge of each prepared ham slice.
05 - Roll each ham slice tightly starting from the vegetable-filled edge, applying gentle pressure to secure filling.
06 - Position rolls seam-side down on serving platter. Slice in half for bite-sized appetizers if preferred. Serve immediately or refrigerate 30 minutes for firmer texture.
# Chef's Tips:
01 -
- The cream cheese filling stays perfectly spreadable straight from the fridge
- You can prep them in under 15 minutes and they look impressive on any platter
02 -
- If the ham slices tear while rolling, overlap two pieces slightly to create a larger surface
- Chilling the assembled roll ups for 30 minutes makes them much easier to slice cleanly
03 -
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent tearing the delicate ham
- Pat the ham slices dry before spreading for better adhesion
