Ingredients

12 thin slices deli ham
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 bunch green onions (about 6-8), trimmed

Directions

1. Prepare the cream cheese. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes until it’s smooth and easily spreadable . This step is key—if it’s too cold, it’ll tear the ham when you try to spread it .

2. Lay out the ham. Place the ham slices flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.

3. Spread the cream cheese. Spread an even layer of softened cream cheese over each ham slice, covering it completely all the way to the edges .

4. Add the green onion. Place a trimmed green onion at the short end of each ham slice . The white bulb should be at the edge of the ham.

5. Roll tightly. Starting from the end with the green onion, roll the ham up tightly around the onion to create a firm log . If the green ends are long, trim them to match the edge of the roll.

6. Chill. Place the rolled logs on a tray, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour . This helps the cream cheese set, making the rolls much easier to slice.

7. Slice and serve. Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into ½ to ¾-inch rounds . Arrange on a serving platter cut-side up and serve chilled.
