Laurel Thompson's Ham Pinwheels

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 8 slices deli ham, lunchmeat (1 package)
• 1 (3 ounce) package cream, cheese. softened
• 8 green onions, cleaned and trimmed in length to the length of the ham slices

Recipe

• 1 spread cream cheese over slices of ham, going to the edges. (i count the number of slices ~ usually 8 ~ and divide the cheese into that many cubes. this makes it easier to have enough cheese of all slices) place one green onion at the edge of each slice of ham. roll each slice tightly around onion. place in freezer about an hour to make slicing easier. slice each roll into 1/4-inch slices. actually i slice my rolls into 6 slices.
• 2 note i: you may substitute for the onions: asparagus. pimiento strip. strips of red, green or other color bell peppers.
• 3 note ii: suggested additions to the cream cheese: chopped canned green chilies, chopped black olives, celery seed, dill seed, or seasoned salt such as mrs. dash.
