Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of deli ham (preferably honey-baked or smoked)
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Toothpicks (for securing the rollups)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the rollups will cook evenly and get crispy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, garlic powder, and chives (if using). Mix until well blended. You should have a smooth, spreadable mixture.
- Take a slice of ham and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture over the ham, leaving about half an inch at the edges. This prevents overflow when rolling.
- Starting from one end, tightly roll the ham around the cheese mixture to form a log. Secure the roll with a toothpick. Repeat this process with the remaining slices of ham and cheese mixture.
- Next, wrap each ham roll with a slice of beef bacon. Make sure to cover the entire roll, overlapping slightly to ensure the bacon sticks. This will help achieve that crispy texture.
- Place the rollups seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps with easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbling. Keep an eye on them after 20 minutes to ensure they don’t overcook.
- Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. This will make them easier to handle and allow the flavors to settle.
- Finally, remove the toothpicks and serve warm. Enjoy the crispy exterior and creamy interior!

Keywords: For the crispiest bacon, consider partially cooking the bacon in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes before wrapping. Don’t skip the toothpick! It’s essential for keeping the rollups intact during baking.
