These quick and easy pickle roll-ups are assembled with 6 simple ingredients in about 10 minutes. They are always a huge hit, and they can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. We love to make them for gameday, movie night, and pool parties.
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
See the complete list of ingredients on the recipe card below.
- Cream cheese: Use full-fat or reduced-fat block-style cream cheese. Whipped cream cheese does not work well.
- Fresh herbs: I love fresh dill with these roll-ups, but you can use chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, or parsley.
- Pickles: You can use dill or sweet pickles, albeit they will bring out different flavors in the cream cheese and ham.
- Deli ham: Thinly sliced good-quality smoked ham. Cut the pieces to make it work. Use the scraps for a hot ham-and-cheese melt.
How To Make Pickle Roll-Ups
This is a summary version; for the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please refer to the recipe card below.
- Trim the ends off the pickles. Dry the pickles with paper towels.
- Beat the cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and fresh dill.
- Cut the ham to fit the size of the pickle. Dry the ham with paper towels. Using a spatula, spread the cream cheese over the ham. Roll the pickle up in the ham and place it seam-side down in an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours up to overnight.
Recipe Variations
- Seasonings: Try a couple of tablespoons of ranch, Cajun, Creole, or everything bagel seasoning.
- Different herbs: Fresh dill, parsley, thyme, chives, or rosemary, or dried marjoram or oregano.
