Potluck Pickle Wraps

If you need an easy, tasty appetizer for your next potluck, consider these incredible Pickle Wraps. Just 3 ingredients, they can be made in no time and will be a party favorite. The only thing that you will regret by making these great Pickle Wraps is that you didn't make more.

Pick Wraps Summary

Just three ingredients is all you need. As the title suggests, you will need pickles. Then, you will also need some softened cream cheese and ham. Like the title suggests, we just wrap our pickles in the cream cheese and ham.

A bit of time in the refrigerator to make them easier to handle. Then, we cut them into bite sized bits and stick a toothpick in them. Put them on a platter, plate, or just eat them. These are a simple appetizer and taste way better than they should.

This delicious appetizer joins some of our other party favorites like our Dill Pickle Spicy Deviled Eggs recipe and the Bacon and Sriracha Chip Dip Recipe.

What Kind Of Pickle To Use?

For this recipe, I used Mt. Olive Kosher Baby Dill Pickles, but this really could be any pickle you want to use. We also make pickles at home and I have made them from our personal stash, but I can't send them to you.

The benefit of using this brand is that the execution of this recipe will more closely match up with your end product. The reality, however, is that you just need a pickle that you can wrap a slice of cream cheesed ham around.

What Kind Of Ham To Use?

I am a little opinionated on what ham to use. I am not trying to be snobby about ham, but it is a matter of practicality. Just, square ham works best. See? Nothing to do with snobbiness. Square ham works well.

The benefit of buying sliced ham that is square is that it provides a bit of consistency in length. Circular ham is fine, but the wrapping can be awkward. Square ham makes this easier.

Soften that Cream Cheese

Softened cream cheese is so much easier to work with, so do it. Just pull it out of the refrigerator for a bit to bring it to room temperature. You could also stick it in the microwave (wrapper removed) for a few seconds at a time until it is nice and soft.

Use All The Ham

One of the benefits of having a square piece of meat is that you can lay your baby dill pickle (remember I am using baby pickles) on the cream cheesed ham and then cut the meat. This allows you to leave a piece of ham that can be used for a different slice of pickle.

You may need to cut up a pickle, but that is ok. It is easier to cut up some pickle than to waste ham.

Refrigerate Before Cutting

Just an hour in the refrigerator is all you need. This will harden the cream cheese and you will have a nice little pickle burrito. We are not, however, serving pickle burritos, but pickle wraps.

Refrigerate for an hour and then cut them into little half inch portions, or whatever you prefer. Stick a toothpick in them and serve them to your guests or bring them to your potluck!

Pickle Wrap Tips

• Make sure to soften your cream cheese
• Refrigerate your pickles before you cut them
• Makes 25. If an appetizer, maybe plan on 4-5 per person
• Pickles are different. I am using Mt. Olive baby pickles. Try to find medium-sized pickles
