🥘Ingredients

For the Roll Ups

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
8 slices deli ham (thinly sliced)
8 dill pickle spears

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
3Lay a slice of deli ham flat on a cutting board.
4Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the ham, leaving a small border around the edges.
5Place a dill pickle spear at one edge of the ham slice.
6Roll the ham tightly around the pickle, pressing gently to seal the seam.
7Repeat with remaining ham and pickles.
8Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
9This chilling step makes slicing easier and helps the rolls hold their shape.
10Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap.
11Using a sharp knife, slice each roll crosswise into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels.
12Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.
