Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 6 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 12 slices Thinly sliced deli ham
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, place the cream cheese. Allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier mixing.
Step 2
Finely chop 2 of the scallions and set the rest aside. Add the chopped scallions, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl with the cream cheese.
Step 3
Using a spoon or spatula, mix the cream cheese mixture until all the ingredients are evenly combined and smooth.
Step 4
Lay one slice of deli ham flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
Step 5
Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the ham slice, making sure to cover the surface almost to the edges.
Step 6
Place one whole scallion stalk lengthwise along one edge of the ham slice.
Step 7
Starting at the edge with the scallion, gently roll the ham slice into a tight log, enclosing the scallion in the center.
Step 8
Repeat steps 4–7 with the remaining ham slices, cream cheese mixture, and scallions.
Step 9
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 3 to 4 bite-sized pieces. Arrange the pieces seam-side down on a serving platter.
Step 10
Optional: Lightly sprinkle paprika over the rolls for a touch of color and added flavor.
Step 11
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your low-carb blast from the past!
