Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    No changes.

  • Substitution

    You can also use regular cream cheese spread instead of the garden vegetable flavor. Just make sure it is the reduced-fat variety, which is softer and spreads more easily than regular cream cheese.

  • Success Hint

    Be sure to pat the peppers and meat slices dry with a paper towel. The packaged meat is typically quite moist, and the cream cheese may be harder to spread.

  • Do-Ahead

    Save yourself some time by assembling the rolls up to 24 hours ahead. Slice them just before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1  package (2.5 ounces) thinly sliced ham
  • 3  tablespoons garden vegetable reduced-fat cream cheese spread (from 8-ounce container)
  • 1  package (2/3 ounce) fresh basil leaves
  • 1/3  cup roasted red bell peppers (from 12-ounce jar), patted dry
  • 5  pieces (5 1/2 inches long) string cheese

Directions

  1. 1Stack 2 slices ham on work surface; pat dry with paper towel. Spread evenly with 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons cream cheese. Top with basil leaves to within 1 inch of top edge. Cut pepper into 1-inch strips; cut to fit width of ham. Place pepper strips across bottom edge of ham. Place cheese piece above pepper on basil leaves; trim to fit.
  2. 2Beginning at bottom, roll up securely. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 5 rolls. Refrigerate 2 hours.
  3. 3Unwrap rolls; place seam sides down. Cut each roll into 5 pieces with sharp serrated knife. If desired, pierce each roll with 5 evenly spaced toothpicks before cutting.
