Salami Cream Cheese Roll Ups Recipe 455

Steps:

• Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap on the work surface. Place the cream cheese on top of the plastic wrap and cover with another piece of wrap the same size. With a rolling pin roll the cream cheese out into an even layer, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Watch the edges of the cream cheese as it rolls out because the top wrap can work its way under the cheese. To avoid this, occasionally pull the wrap off and replace it to continue rolling the cheese into a rectangle. Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and add the salami, overlapping the slices until all the cream cheese is covered, lightly press the salami into the cream cheese to make it stick. Replace the plastic wrap and carefully flip the salami and cheese so that the cream cheese is again on top. Remove the wrap and place the sliced green peppers over the cheese. Roll the salami over the cream cheese being careful not to leave any air space (this make it harder to cut later) and use the plastic wrap to pull it tight as you work. Roll the meat log and press the outer layers tight to hold it all together. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or overnight (it can be cut without chilling, but the longer it chills the easier it is to cut.) Cut the meat slices thin, taste one on a cracker, as large crackers may need a thicker slice, while smaller crackers will need one cut thinner. Enjoy with your favorite beverage. Cook's Notes: No actual cooking is involved, but you will need a good sharp knife to cut the rolls. When entertaining I make up the roll 1 to 3 days ahead and on the day of the party I slice them thin and stack them in rows between wax paper, returning them to the refrigerator. To serve, I line a platter with crackers and then simply lay a sliced roll on each, they can be stacked pretty high with this method and it makes an impressive display. This keeps the crackers fresh and crisp but also makes assembly super quick and easy.

Steps:

• Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoon softened cream cheese over a slice of salami; top with 1 to 3 slices of pepperoncini pepper. Roll the salami around the cheese and pepper; secure with toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients; serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, salami and pickle relish., Spread over tortillas. Roll up tightly; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Unwrap and cut each tortilla into 1-in. slices.

Steps:

• Mix together the cream cheese and chives in a bowl. Cut the pimentos into small pieces.
• Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto a salami slice; fold in half, then half again to form a wedge shape. Thread 2 pieces of pimento onto toothpicks and use to secure the roll-up. Repeat for the remaining salami slices.
• Slice the roll-ups in half and serve on a platter.

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, horseradish and seasoning salt. (Light or fat-free cream cheese also works well).
• Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of mixture on each salami slice.
• Roll up and secure with toothpicks.
• ANOTHER OPTION: Sometimes I mixed the cream cheese with 1 teaspoon of garlic, and 1/4 cup of shredded parmesan.
• These are good with olives on the toothpicks.
