We have a lot of pickle lovers in my family (hello Kool-Aid pickles!) so when I’m looking for a fast and easy snack or game day appetizer these easy pickle wraps are always at the top of my list.
I love that they need on 3 simple ingredients I usually already have on hand and I can whip them up in less than 15 minutes. The sour dill pickle complements the salty ham perfectly!
I’ve heard these called Minnesota sushi and I’m fairly certain they are a Midwest thing because I never heard of them growing up in the South but my husband is a native Michigander and he loves them!
Ingredients
All you need for these pickle and cream cheese roll-ups are whole baby dill pickles or dill pickle spears, cream cheese, and ham slices. I prefer to use slices of deli ham as it’s a little thicker and holds the roll-up easier.
Step by step
This is such an easy recipe, even the kids can make them!
- Pat pickles dry with a paper towel.
- Lay a slice of ham flat on a cutting board. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the ham, spreading all the way to the edges.
- Place the pickle on top of the cream cheese at one end of the ham slice and roll up tightly, securing with toothpicks if needed. Slice into 1” pieces with a sharp knife. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips for best results
- let the block of cream cheese soften at room temperature 20-30 minutes or use whipped cream cheese for easier spreading
- like our ham and cream cheese tortilla pinwheels, these ham and pickle roll ups can be made a day ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container
Variations
- use different types of lunch meat instead of the deli ham slices, roast beef, salami, turkey, and corned beef are all great options
- add flour tortillas to make these dill pickle pinwheels appetizer
- add a little ranch dressing or ranch seasoning to the cream cheese layer or use a flavored cream cheese spread
Storage
Store pickle roll-ups in an airtight container or covered in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 2 days.
These ham pickle rollups are really the perfect party appetizer of after school snacks! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
