Ingredients:

  • 8 slices of thinly sliced ham
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup pork rinds, crushed (for coating)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green onions, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  3. Assemble Rolls: Lay out the slices of ham on a clean surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice.
  4. Roll Up: Carefully roll up each ham slice with the filling into a tight roll.
  5. Coat with Pork Rinds: Roll each ham and cheese roll in the crushed pork rinds, making sure they are well coated.
  6. Bake: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are crispy and the filling is heated through.
  7. Serve: Allow the Keto Crispy Ham Rolls to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with additional Dijon mustard for dipping.

Notes:

  • Cheese Variation: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses based on your preferences. You can use other keto-friendly cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack.
  • Mustard Options: If you’re a fan of spicy flavors, consider using a spicy mustard or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Crunchy Coating: The crushed pork rinds provide a crunchy coating that adds texture to the rolls. You can also try using almond flour or crushed pork rind variations for coating.
  • Serve as Snack or Appetizer: These Keto Crispy Ham Rolls make a great low-carb snack or appetizer for gatherings.
