Cheese Salami Bites (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 -
Freshly ground black pepper as much as you like
02 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
03 -
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
04 -
2 teaspoons dried chives
05 -
8 ounces cream cheese that’s nice and soft
→ Wrap
06 -
12 slices of salami (choose your fave, about 3 inches wide each)
→ Optional Garnish and Accompaniment
07 -
Pretzel sticks for dipping or munching alongside
08 -
Pitted green olives for topping off
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Stack up those roll ups on a dish. Pretzel sticks go next to them. Enjoy right away or stash in the fridge until you’re hungry.
02 -
If you want, poke a green olive on top of each roll using the toothpick. Makes it look awesome and adds extra bite.
03 -
Roll each salami up from one edge to the other so the filling’s tucked in snug. Pop a toothpick in each to keep ’em rolled tight.
04 -
Drop some of that cheesy mixture on every slice of salami. Smooth it out over the surface, making sure to cover as close to the edges as you can.
05 -
Put the salami rounds in a single layer on your clean board or countertop so they’re set for building.
06 -
Drop the softened cream cheese into a bowl. Toss in the chives, onion flakes, garlic powder, and crank in your pepper. Mix until you’ve got one smooth blend.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
If you're after less fat, swap cream cheese for some tangy Greek yogurt or a light spread.
02 -
Mix in fresh parsley or dill if you feel like changing up the taste.
03 -
Spice lovers can chop jalapeños and stir them into the mix!
