Scale
Ingredients
- 6 large dill pickles (whole)
- 6 slices deli ham or turkey
- 6 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
- Optional: garlic powder or fresh dill for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Pickles: Pat the pickles dry using a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, ensuring they don’t make the rolls soggy.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Lay a slice of deli meat flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread about 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese across the entire slice. Optionally, mix in a pinch of garlic powder or chopped fresh dill into the cream cheese before spreading for added flavor.
- Roll the Pickles: Place one pickle at one end of the meat slice and roll it up tightly around the pickle, encasing it completely.
- Repeat: Repeat the spreading and rolling process with the remaining pickles and meat slices.
- Serve: Serve the rolls whole or slice them into 1-inch bite-sized pinwheels. These can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Great for quick snacks, lunch boxes, or party trays.
- For a low-carb option, use only meat and cheese or wrap with lettuce instead of pickles.
- Prepare up to a day in advance and store covered in the refrigerator.
