Ingredients
Ingredients
- 24 slices salami
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup banana peppers, finely chopped
Instructions
- Arrange Salami: Place twelve slices of salami flat on a clean surface in three rows of four slices each, slightly overlapping to form a layered sheet.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread half of the softened cream cheese over the arranged salami, covering all the slices.
- Add Banana Peppers: Sprinkle half of the finely chopped banana peppers evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll Up: Tightly roll the layered salami and cream cheese mixture into a compact log and wrap it securely with plastic wrap to maintain shape.
- Repeat: Repeat steps 1 through 4 with the remaining salami slices, cream cheese, and banana peppers to create a second roll.
- Chill: Refrigerate both rolls wrapped in plastic wrap for at least one hour to firm up and meld flavors.
- Slice and Serve: Remove plastic wrap, slice each roll into 20 pinwheel pieces, and serve with toothpicks for easy eating.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make spreading easier.
- For a spicier kick, substitute banana peppers with jalapeños or add red pepper flakes.
- These roll-ups can be prepared a day ahead and chilled until serving.
- Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
- Serve as an appetizer with crackers or fresh veggies for a complete snack.
