Ham Rolls

Submitted by MoonSpinner

Ingredients

1½ Blocks Philadelphia Cream Cheese 2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ to 1 c. green onions or Vidalia onions 1 pkg. ham slices (not thin cut)

Directions

  1. Heat cream cheese in microwave until smooth & warm, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  2. Add shredded cheddar cheese to warm cream cheese mixture. You can vary the cheese mixture depending on how much of a cream cheese taste you want. If you want more of a sharp cheddar taste, add more shredded cheese.
  3. Stir until blended smooth, which may require additional heating. (Mixture should be a light orange color)
  4. Stir in green onions to mixture.
  5. While still warm, drop a spoonful of mixture onto one end of ham slice. Also spread a very thin layer of cheese picture across rest of ham slice (this will make the roll stick together.
  6. Tightly roll ham up pushing cheese mixture through slice evenly. Cheese mixture should stick ham roll together.
  7. Once rolled, refrigerate ham rolls flap side down for 3-4 hours until solid.
  8. Once solid, slice rolls up to desired size or eat whole & serve.

Moony’s Tasty Tortilla Wrap Rollups

Submitted by MoonSpinner
Serves 30

Ingredients

6 large wheat or flour tortillas 1 tub spreadable green onion cream cheese
1 can black olives 1 box pre-cooked bacon (approx. 12 slices)
1 pkg deli thin smoked ham salt to taste

Directions

  1. Lay tortillas out flat; spread a thick layer of cream cheese.
  2. Spread a layer of chopped black olives.
  3. Place 3-4 slices of the thin ham (spread flat for easy rolling later).
  4. Heat bacon for 20 seconds until warm (DO NOT OVERCOOK – hard bacon will not roll well) & place on tortillas in the opposite direction of how you will roll to ensure that when you cut the rollups every piece will have bacon.
  5. Roll up tightly, then slice into 5 pieces & secure with a toothpick.
  6. Best if served at room temperature, but are great to make ahead for parties & store in fridge overnight.

Chef’s Note: Make sure to use pre-cooked bacon; it works best because of the thinness & flexibility. For a lighter version, substitute deli thin smoked turkey for ham. turkey bacon if you find it uber-thin, & low-fat cream cheese.
