Important Recipe Notes:

Use thin-sliced ham – For the best texture and flavor, choose thin-sliced deli ham. It’s easier to roll and holds the filling better.
Cream cheese consistency – Let your cream cheese soften a bit before spreading, so it’s smooth and easy to work with.
Storage – These rolls can be made up to 24 hours in advance! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.
Add a twist – Feel free to experiment by adding a dash of garlic powder, dill, or ranch seasoning to the cream cheese for extra flavor.
Pickle choice – Dill pickles work best, but you can use sweet pickles for a different flavor profile if preferred!
