Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
- 8 slices Salami (or prosciutto/turkey)
- 2 slices Tortilla (optional)
- 2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (like dill or chives)
- 1 pinch Spices (optional garlic powder or black pepper)
Instructions
- Soften Cream Cheese: Begin by leaving the cream cheese out at room temperature until it becomes soft and easy to spread, which usually takes about 15 minutes.
- Spread the Cream Cheese: Using a butter knife or spatula, evenly dollop and spread the softened cream cheese onto each slice of salami or on the tortilla if you are using it as a base. Make sure the layer is smooth and covers the entire surface.
- Roll It Up: Carefully but firmly roll each slice of salami or the tortilla around the creamy filling to form a tight roll. This helps keep everything together and makes it easier to eat.
- Cut and Serve: Slice the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces, approximately one inch thick. Arrange them on a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
- For a different protein option, substitute salami with prosciutto or turkey slices.
- If you prefer a gluten-free appetizer, omit the tortilla or use gluten-free tortillas.
- Customize the filling with different herbs or spices like paprika or cayenne for a kick.
- These roll-ups are best served fresh but can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated.
- Use softened cream cheese for easy spreading; microwaving briefly (about 10 seconds) can speed this up if needed.
