Step by step
Instructions
The biggest shortcut is to use a wide peeler and ham in the thinnest slices possible. Spread the filling on the ham, not directly on the cucumber, because it adheres better to dry ham and the rolls roll more easily. If preparing ahead, prepare the cucumber slices and filling separately, but roll them just before serving.

Variants and alternatives
Add 1 teaspoon of finely grated horseradish to the filling. The rolls will be more pronounced and pair well with smoked ham.Use dill instead of chives and add a little lemon zest. The flavor will be fresher and more summery.For a more festive version, replace part of the ham with smoked salmon and omit the mustard.For a milder kid-friendly version, omit the mustard and pepper and use only cream cheese with chives.
