Ingredients
Salami Roll-Ups Ingredients
- 24 slices salami
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup banana peppers, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Salami Base: Lay twelve slices of salami flat on a clean surface arranged in three rows of four slices each. This will serve as the base layer for the roll-up.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread half of the softened cream cheese over the salami slices, making sure to cover the surface fully for a creamy layer.
- Add Banana Peppers: Sprinkle half of the finely chopped banana peppers evenly over the cream cheese to add tangy flavor and slight heat.
- Roll and Wrap: Starting at one edge, carefully and tightly roll the layered salami, cream cheese, and banana peppers into a log shape. Wrap the roll tightly with plastic wrap to hold its form.
- Repeat for Second Roll: Repeat steps 1 through 4 with the remaining salami slices, cream cheese, and banana peppers to create a second roll.
- Chill Rolls: Place both wrapped rolls in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour to allow them to firm up for easier slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap. Slice each roll into pinwheel pieces about ½ inch thick. Use toothpicks to secure each pinwheel for easy serving as an appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy spreading.
- You can substitute banana peppers with jalapeños or roasted red peppers for different flavors.
- Chilling the rolls is essential to make slicing easier and to keep the roll-ups intact.
- These roll-ups can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
- If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for color and added flavor.
