Salami Cream Cheese Roll Ups: Easy Salami Snacks
These salami cream cheese roll ups are a simple and satisfying snack. They combine creamy cheese with salty salami for a perfect bite. You’ll find yourself making these often for a quick fix.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Salami Cream Cheese
- Soften Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is soft. This helps it spread easily and mix well with other ingredients.
- Add Herbs: Fresh chives or parsley chopped finely give a nice fresh taste. You can also use garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Chill Before Cutting: Letting the rolls chill helps them firm up. This makes them much easier to slice neatly.
What You Need for Salami Cream Cheese Rolls
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 24 slices large deli salami
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes prep + 30 minutes chill🍽️ Yields: About 24 rolls
How to Make Salami Cream Cheese Roll Ups
Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with chopped chives, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper until it’s smooth and well combined. Make sure there are no lumps in the cream cheese mixture.
Step 2: Assemble the Salami Rolls
Lay each slice of salami flat on a clean surface. Spread about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side of each salami slice. Start from one end and roll up the salami tightly.
Step 3: Chill and Serve
Place the rolled salami on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up. Once chilled, you can slice each roll into smaller, bite-sized pieces if you like, or serve them whole.
📝 Final Note
These roll ups can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re great for meal prep or party platters.
