Keto Ham Roll Ups (Printable Version)
Creamy cheese and crisp vegetables wrapped in savory ham slices. A quick low-carb option ready in 15 minutes.
# What You 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
# How to Make It:
01 - Combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix until completely smooth and well incorporated.
02 - Lay out individual ham slices on a clean, flat work surface, ensuring they are not overlapping for easy assembly.
03 - Distribute approximately 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture evenly across the entire surface of each ham slice, extending to the edges.
04 - Position cucumber and red bell pepper strips along one short edge of each prepared ham slice, creating a neat line for rolling.
05 - Starting from the vegetable-filled edge, roll each ham slice tightly to create secure cylinders. Place seam-side down on serving plate.
06 - Slice roll ups in half for bite-sized appetizers if preferred. Serve immediately or refrigerate 30 minutes for firmer texture.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The creamy filling hits every salty, tangy note you crave without any carbs
- They come together in fifteen minutes flat and look impressive on a platter
02 -
- Cold cream cheese will leave lumps in your filling, so plan ahead and let it soften completely
- Overfilling the ham slices makes rolling nearly impossible, so resist the urge to add just a little more cheese
03 -
- Use a sharp knife to slice the rolls in half, and wipe the blade clean between cuts for neat edges
- If your ham slices are uneven in size, pair similar sizes together for consistent rolling
