Ingredients

• 6 large dill pickle spears (or whole pickles cut in half)
• 6 oz light cream cheese, softened
• 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 12 slices lean deli turkey or ham
• Toothpicks, for securing (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the Pickles
Pat the pickles dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture—this helps the filling stick better and prevents sogginess.

2. Mix the Filling
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and garlic powder (if using) until smooth.

3. Assemble the Bombs
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of deli meat. Place a pickle spear on top and roll tightly. Repeat for all pickles.

4. Slice & Chill
Cut each roll in half to make 12 bombs. For best results, chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving to firm them up—but they’re delicious right away too!

5. Serve
Secure with toothpicks if needed. Serve cold.
