In response to Anita B: Since these do not use a tortilla to hold the ingredients together (the ham slice is the wrapper), I think the addition of adding sour cream would make it too squishy. Just a guess, but I wouldn't bother and I have made these many times since the recipe was published. You can use reduced fat or fat free cream cheese if you want to cut fat.

Not sure why there are such spotty reviews! This is an excellent recipe (as written). Even my very picky children eat this (My daugher made this to share with her girl scout troop and they gobbled them up). Since we have a diabetic in the family, I appreciate a low carb "roll" with great flavor that pairs well as an app for a varitey of entrees. It's easy to prepare. IMO, olives are a must. Add a pickle, and it becomes a different recipe.

Has anyone tried sour cream with the cream cheese, as in the Cheesy Onion Rollups? Did it work? Wondering. The recipe as is sounds great, but just wondering.

to Spayne60, um, the ham is the wrapper with cream cheese, onion and olives spread onto the ham, then you grab the edge of the ham and roll it up. The photo is pretty clear of the finished app when ready to eat.

Just spread the mixture on the ham slice, and roll it up. Chill to set the cheese a bit, then cut the roll into slices. Serve with toothpics. This is a staple at every family gathering. Always have to make extra so my husband doesnt eat them all before the party!
