Elegant Salmon-Cream Cheese Roll-Ups bring sophistication to your appetizer spread with minimal effort. The clever freezing technique creates perfect spirals of creamy cheese wrapped around delicate smoked salmon, seasoned with freshly ground pepper for a hint of spice. These make-ahead bites are ideal for entertaining – simply slice the chilled roll into medallions and arrange on pumpernickel rounds or your favorite crackers. The striking pink-and-white spiral pattern makes these appetizers as visually impressive as they are delicious. - Claude
*Serving suggestion only. 😂 If a food photo doesn't look like it was taken by a monkey named Frank, it was most likely AI generated and not the result of Frank's minimal culinary or photographic skills. Unless you failed the "I'm not a robot" test, your recipes will probably not look like the ones in the pictures.
Ingredients
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, cold
5 or 6 slices smoked salmon (about 5 ounces)
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
About 25 small round slices (about 2-inch diameter) pumpernickel or other dark bread or rice crackers or Ritz crackers

Directions
Place the cream cheese on a 12-inch square of plastic wrap.
Cover it with another 12-inch square and, with your hands, spread the cream cheese out to form a square approximately 8 by 8 inches.
Peel off and discard the top piece of plastic wrap and arrange the salmon on the cheese.
Sprinkle the pepper evenly over the salmon.
Lifting up the plastic wrap, roll the cream cheese up tightly, enclosing the salmon (don't let the plastic get rolled up inside).
Use the plastic wrap to help tighten the roll; it should measure about 9 inches long by 1½ inches.
Seal it well in the plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 1½ to 2 hours.
Remove the partially frozen roll from the plastic wrap and, using a sharp thin-bladed knife, cut it into ½-inch-wide slices.
Place the slices on the bread rounds.
Work quickly while the cream cheese is still cold, so it doesn't stick too much to your fingers or to the knife.
If it gets sticky, return it to the freezer for a few minutes to harden.
Arrange the hors d'oeuvres on a large serving plate and serve cold.

💬 Uncle Dave says...
Rolling the cream cheese out between sheets of plastic wrap eliminates a messy cleanup chore.
Preparing the roll-ups ahead of time and placing them in the freezer for a couple of hours makes slicing them much easier.
