Is Ham Keto Friendly?

Yes, sliced deli ham is generally considered to be keto since it’s low in carbs. However, certain holiday hams that are made with a sugary glaze are not keto-friendly.

How to Make Ham and Cheese Pinwheels

This recipe is made with a keto fat head dough that’s low in carbs and high in fat. Here’s a look at how the baked ham and cheese roll ups are made:

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat until cheese is completely melted.
In a second smaller bowl, combine the almond flour and baking powder. Mix into the melted cheeses.
When the almond flour and cheese are nearly combined, add in a beaten egg white and stir well
Using your hands, work the dough to make sure the egg white is completely worked into the dough.
Lay the dough on a silicone baking sheet. Place a second silicone baking sheet on top and spread the dough into a thin rectangle.
Layer the deli ham slices and shredded cheese over the dough and tightly roll.
Slice into 13 rolls (not too thin)
Combine all of the special sauce ingredients in a bowl and brush over the ham and cheese rolls.
Bake until golden brown.

Do I Have to Add the Special Sauce?

No, these rolls are super versatile and great both with and without sauce. So if you’re not a mustard fan, feel free to leave this part out and enjoy this simple yet delicious ham and cheese dish on its own.

How to Reheat Ham and Cheese Pinwheels

Keto Ham and Cheese Rolls can easily be reheated in the oven or microwave.

To reheat in the microwave: heat on full power for a minute or two (or until heated all the way through), checking at 30-second intervals.
To reheat in the oven: preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and stick them in for 8-10 minutes, checking regularly and turning your rolls around halfway through.
