Ham and Cream Cheese Appetizer Recipe

1) 400 g/14 oz of all-purpose flour
2) salt and ground white pepper
3) 2 tbsp of sunflower oil for the batter and some for frying
4) 2 eggs
5) 800 ml/27 fl oz of cow milk
6) 400 g/14 oz of cottage cheese or ricotta
7) 2 tbsp of heavy cream
8) 20 g /0.7 oz of onion
9) 1-2 tbsp of horseradish cream or 1 tsp of grated horseradish (optional)
10) half a bundle of fresh dill or to taste
11) 50 g / 18 oz slices of pressed ham, Prague ham, Prosciutto, or a similar ham type
12) 300 g/10 oz of small red radishes or cherry tomatoes

1) combine flour, a pinch of salt, 2 spoons of oil, eggs, and milk to prepare the crepe batter
2) fry crepes just like in the video, then wait to cool to room temperature (you’ll get about 10-12 pancakes)
3) place cottage cheese or ricotta into a bowl, add further heavy cream, salt, pepper, chopped onion, horseradish, and chopped dill, then mix until you get a smooth cream cheese spread
4) add 2 large ham slices over a pancake and spread about 2 spoons of cream cheese over the ham
5) roll the crepe as tightly as possible, then continue identically with the rest of the ingredients
6) place the rolls into the fridge until the next day or for at least 6 hours to harden both the cheese spread and pancakes
7) take the rolls out from the fridge, remove their ends, and cut each roll into 6-8 smaller roll-ups, on your choice
8) tighten each roll-up with a toothpick to not loosen
9) jab a radish or a tomato on each toothpick for added taste and look
10) place some ham and cheese roll-ups on a platter and garnish them with fresh dill or another greenery (optional)
