Pastrami Cream Cheese Pickles

[gregbooras]

Made these as a snack for a boat trip tomorrow with some friends. These are a great summer time appetizer, that go well with everything!

8 oz cream cheese
7-8 oz. thin sliced Pastrami (have the deli slice very thin or use prepackage Hillshire Farm Pastrami)
4 Large dill pickles (make sure to dry them well).

Directions:

Coat pickle with cream cheese, then one layer of pastrami, then cream cheese and pastrami again. You want at least two layers, if you have enough cream cheese you can do three. Place the pickles in the freezer and allow to cool for about 15 minutes. Remove and slice thin with a serrated bread knife.

Place in covered dish and refrigerate overnight.



Enjoy Greg

Rueben Pinwheels?
Thin slice of pastrami covered with a thin layer of cream cheese followed by a thin layer of sauerkraut.  Roll up tight and cut pinwheel slices.

I love deep fried pickles and am imagining that pastrami pickle battered and fried.  8)

Wow, my grandmother used to make something almost exactly like these, but she used ham instead of pastrami, and used pickle spears instead of whole pickles.  Haven't thought about them in years. I like the idea of the ruben pinwheels, too.

Hey Eric,

I used to make them for parties and they were always a hit. Ham, Corned Beef would work just fine. I used the pastrami because if had just a taste of heat.
