"These are a great little "Appie" that everyone loves! So easy to whip up and easy to transport for the holidays. You can mix up a dipping sauce of a few squirts of yellow mustard and a few tablespoons mayonnaise if you like!"

Original recipe yields 25-30 servings

Ingredients

Add to Shopping List

1/2 pound cooked sliced ham (thinly sliced deli ham)
4 ounces cream cheese (I use the 1/3 less fat but you can also use whipped cream cheese)

2 green onions (finely chopped)
120 grams dill pickles (4 large pickles, cut into 4ths or 6ths, depending on size of pickle, you can use Kosher if you like, but I like the old fashioned dill pickles best, You may also use whole smaller pickles if the ham slices will wrap around it)

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you make these, so that it will be easy to spread. I zap it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds)

Step 2

Cut dill pickles lengthwise into fourths or sixths, depending on how thick the pickles are. You need as many cut pickle spears as you have ham slices.

Step 3

Chop the green onions into tiny pieces, then add to cream cheese and mix well.

Step 4

Spread each slice of ham with a very thin layer of cream cheese. (I used about 1 teaspoon cream cheese on each ham slice. The ham doesn't need to be completely covered with cream cheese.)
