Ham & Olive Rollups

Step 1

Drain the olives well in a strainer. Dry both sides of each ham slice you are going to use and lay them on a cutting board. I found it easy to lay down a double layer of paper towels, place two slices of ham near an edge and fold the paper towel over, pat dry then place on the cutting board.

Step 2

Spread softened cream cheese on each ham slice. Right side is spread, starting left side, it is not a thick layer.

Step 3

Add a row of olives on one side of each ham slice. Slice the ham into strips between each olive. I found a pasta cutter works wonders with this. (Yes, I ate the missing one on the left, and for the scrap piece on one side of the ham, I ate that too, I call that a pre-snack snack.)

Step 4

Starting on the end with the olive, rollup each strip and secure with a toothpick. Place rollups in the fridge until ready to serve. (Yes, this was the second batch, first batch was only 7.)
