Party Roll-ups: an American, an Englishman, and an Italian image

Cold cuts and cream cheese are a staple in our refrigerator, so when I'm not in the mood for bread, I like to make these "naked" sandwiches, which also make great appetizers. The possible combinations are endless, but these "gentlemen" are my favorites. You can also make these with a tortilla as the outside layer. Amounts are approximate (play around with it) and listed per roll-up.

Time 15m

Yield 3 rollups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 slice turkey breast
1/2 tablespoon cream cheese
1 teaspoon cranberry sauce
1 slice ham
1/2 tablespoon cream cheese
1 teaspoon apricot jam
1 slice salami
1/2 teaspoon cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon minced olives or 1/4 teaspoon pepperoncini pepper

Steps:

  • For each roll-up, spread the cream cheese as evenly as possible across the slice of meat (but don't be anal about it if it glops up a bit--room temperature cream cheese is ideal).
  • Then spread or sprinkle the other filling on top.
  • Roll it up.
  • Make as many as you want.
  • Eat or serve as is or cut on the horizontal into pinwheels (not recommended for the salami unless you've got a tortilla on the outside).
  • Optional: garnish with toothpicks securing a cranberry for each American, a dried apricot for each Englishman, and an olive for each Italian.
  • Feel free to add additional seasonings: some like the American with a little mayo in it, some like the Englishman with a touch of dijon mustard, and some like the Italian with garlic powder (or an herbed cream cheese)-- horseradish might go in there somewhere!
