Keto Crispy Ham Rolls are a low-carb snack made by rolling cream cheese and vegetables in slices of ham. High in protein and healthy fats, these rolls are perfect for a ketogenic diet.
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 8–10 slices Quality deli ham (thick enough to roll!) 🍖
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened 🥛
- ½ cup Shredded cheese (for extra melty goodness!) 🧀
- Vegetables: Finely diced bell peppers, green onions, or even a little spinach for the filling! 🫑🧅
- For the Coating: Crushed pork rinds or almond flour mixed with Parmesan cheese (the secret to the keto crunch!) 🥨💎
- 1 Egg, beaten (to help the coating stick) 🥚
- Fresh parsley for garnish 🌿
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with your choice of finely diced vegetables and a handful of shredded cheese. 🥣🌪️✨
- Roll It Up: Lay a slice of ham flat. Spread a generous tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture along one edge and roll it up tightly. 🍖🌯📐
- The Crunchy Coating: Dip each ham roll into the beaten egg, then roll it in your crushed pork rind or Parmesan mixture until fully coated. 🥚🥨🤝
- The Sizzle: You can either air fry these or lightly pan-fry them in a bit of butter until the outside is golden-brown and crispy as seen in the photo! ⏲️📈🔥
- Perfect Melt: Make sure the heat is high enough to crisp the outside while allowing the cheesy center to become perfectly molten and bubbly. 🧀🤤✨
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm. Watch that cheese pull! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Seal” Secret: Place your ham rolls seam-side down in the pan first! This helps “lock” the roll together so it doesn’t unwrap while cooking. 🍖🛡️💎
- The “Crunch” Secret: For the ultimate crispy texture, double-dip! Go from egg to coating, then back to egg and coating one more time before frying. 🥨🎯✨
