Recipe Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to make these easy ham and cheese rollups:

Deli Ham: I used black forest ham slices. Go for a good quality deli meat.
Cheese: I used swiss but feel free to switch it up and use your favorite cheese. American cheese or cheddar cheese would be good also.
