Ingredients You’ll Need:
Only 3-ingredients to make these ham pickle cheese rollups (full amounts in recipe box below).
- Ham – any deli ham slices.
- Cream Cheese – full fat or low-fat cream cheese is best.
- Pickles – you will need dill pickles for this recipe – either whole or spears.
How To Make Ham and Pickle Roll Ups
- Spread some cream cheese on a slice of ham and then lay your pickle in the middle of the ham slice.
- Roll it up and then slice it evenly.
- Store them in a airtight container in the refrigerator.
- You just can’t get any easier than this! 5 minute prep – rave reviews!
Tips and Variations
- Flavor – adding Ranch Seasoning (dry) to the cream cheese is a nice addition for added flavor. Simply mix the packet of seasoning into the cream cheese and then spread the cream cheese mixture over the ham.
- Cream Cheese – use light cream cheese to lighten it up. You can use whipped cream cheese or ever the store bought different cream cheese flavors.
- Ham – change out the ham with turkey, salami or roast beef slices.
- Pickles – feel free to use whole pickles, spears or slice them into sticks like we do.
- Serving – we like to cut them into small servings, but you can also leave them whole like the image below for a delicious lunch.
- Variations – for a heartier lunch, make these into tortilla roll ups by wrapping flour tortillas around the outside – add in some chopped green onions, sprinkle cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese over the cream cheese.
- Storing – in a airtight container, store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

I have made this with pickled okra in the center it is so good.
Oh, yum! Years ago I had them at a wedding reception, made with pickled asparagus spears! Had never had anything like them, and then made them quite a number of times thereafter. gotta get back to ’em…thanks for the reminder!
I make these for gatherings all the time, except I use sweet gerkins pickles instead of dill pickles. Delish
Loved it
This is ALWAYS a request at our family get togethers! Even the grandkids request it now. Been making these for over 25 years!! Only I do use the dried beef and Sweet Gherkin pickles. That’s how my momma always made them.
