Ingredients

  • 12 slices deli ham, about 3/4 pound
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar.
  3. Place the ham slices flat and spread a small amount of the cheese mixture down the center of each slice.
  4. Roll the ham tightly around the filling and place each roll seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over the ham rolls.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges of the ham are lightly browned.
  7. Let the ham bombs rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

 

Easy Variations

  • Mild: Use mild cheddar or Colby Jack.
  • Spicy: Add a little crushed red pepper or use pepper jack cheese.
  • Smoky: Try smoked ham or smoked cheddar for a deeper flavor.
  • Party-size: Cut the baked rolls in half and serve them with toothpicks.

 

Make-Ahead & Storage

  • You can assemble the ham rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them covered until ready to bake.
  • Store cooked leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and use within 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until heated through and the cheese is melted.

 

Serving Ideas

These ham bombs work well as a quick snack, light lunch, or simple party appetizer. Pair them with fresh vegetables or a salad for an easy meal.

 

Final Thoughts

With only three main ingredients, these baked ham rolls are simple to prepare and easy to customize. They are best served warm while the cheese is soft and melted.
