- 8 large dill pickles (whole or spears, patted dry)
- 8 slices deli ham or turkey

Instructions
- Prepare Meat and Cheese: Lay out a slice of deli meat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese evenly over the entire slice.
- Add Pickle: Place one whole dill pickle or spear at one end of the meat and cream cheese-covered slice.
- Roll Up: Roll the slice tightly around the pickle to enclose it completely and create a compact roll.
- Repeat: Continue the same process for the remaining meat slices, cream cheese, and pickles.
- Slice and Secure: For easy serving, slice each roll into 3 to 4 bite-sized pieces. Secure with toothpicks if desired to keep the rolls together.
- Serve or Chill: Serve immediately as a fresh snack or chill for 30 minutes before slicing to achieve cleaner cuts and enhance flavors.

- You can swap deli ham with roast beef or turkey depending on your taste preferences.
