Okay, so maybe you need a little more than Salami & Cream Cheese Bites for a full-fledged party. Like beverage ... and people ... and at least a few other nibbles. But with this simple little classic bite, you're at least well on your way to serving up a delicious party spread.
My Mom used to make these quick little bites for me as a snack when I was growing up, and I loved them.
With just three ingredients, you can have a platter ready in minutes.
Now Mom made these classic little bites as stacks ... stacking up layers of salami spread with cream cheese. But I think it's easier and cuter to make them as roll-ups.
Hmmmm, maybe I should have timed myself ... but I didn't. I assure you, however, these little bites are indeed super quick.
Simply spread a slice of salami with softened cream cheese and roll it up ... {that's quick}.
Insert three toothpicks into the seam side of the salami roll-up and stick an olive {if desired} onto each pick ... {hmmmm, that's quick, too}
Then cut between the toothpicks ... {still quick}
Done!
Yes, you can indeed have a whole platter of Salami & Cream Cheese Bites put together in minutes.
Transfer the finished bites to a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. For convenience and ease, these bites can even be prepared up to a day or two in advance. Just store them, covered, in the refrigerator until you need them.

These look tasty. They'd be an easy appetizer for the super bowl party i'll be attending too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, Leslie, they are indeed a VERY easy appetizer. Have fun at your party!
DeleteI made these for New Year's Eve -- love them. Instead of an olive on top, I include sliced pepperoncini in the roll. Have to admit, I hid a plate of them in the frig so I could have more the next day.
ReplyDeleteI like your thinking of hiding a plate of them in the frig for later, Deirdre!
Deletewe add a little horseradish and chopped green onions. We put a dab on 1/2 of the salami and fold it in half.
ReplyDeleteI want to try the salami rollups...I am the only one in the house that really likes salami...bet I could entice hubby to try the rollups, though.
ReplyDeleteYou could use larger slices of pepperoni. Most fancy grocery stores carry it. I like it a lot better than salami.
DeleteTracey I love this share wow! Found you on Lou Lou will follow via email. Great recipies :)!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! I've seen a lot of these with pickles, but not olives. Yum!
ReplyDeleteGreat appetizers, I just love Salami. Thanks so much for sharing your awesome post with Full Plate Thursday. Hope you are having a great week and come back to see us real soon!
ReplyDeleteMiz Helen
I could live forever solely on the items pictured in this post! Delish!!!!
ReplyDeleteSimilar to ham rolls that my mom used to make-- except you mix the cream cheese with some horseradish. I wonder how that would be on salami
ReplyDeleteCan you make these the night before?
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I love all 3 ingredients! Great recipe! And what is this business of olives being optional? ;) Never! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love these cute little appetizers, and I love how easy they are to make even more! The cream cheese is a great contrast to the spicy salami and olives. Definitely giving these a try soon! Scheduled to tweet and pin. Thank you for sharing with us at Hearth and Soul, Tracey.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of cutting them and putting on a toothpick! Also love the addition of the olives. I've never seen that, but I bet it's amazing!
ReplyDeleteCan something be added to the cream cheese for flavor? How many can be made?
ReplyDeleteI add powdered ranch dressing mix and finely chopped green onions to my cream cheese. Yummy!
DeleteOhhhh - this looks like a party saver! I often have people stopping by for a small party and something likes this is extremely handy!Thank you very much for sharing this recipe, Tracey!
ReplyDeleteI mix some of Trader Joe's chutney with the softened cream cheese, then spread on either ham or salami, fasten with toothpicks. YUM!!
ReplyDeleteThis might be the perfect lil' snack bite!!!
ReplyDeleteCant believe that I can make the salami so perfect. It's all due to your help, friend. That's sweet.
