Ingredients You Need

To make these delicious Boursin salami roll ups, you only need a handful of ingredients:

• 1 garlic and herb Boursin cheese (room temperature)
• 1/4 cup chopped red pepper
• 1/4 cup diced onion (yellow or green onion)
• Hard salami slices (18 total, arranged in sets of 6)

The Boursin cheese gives these roll ups their signature creamy texture and herb-infused flavor. The diced red peppers add sweetness and color, while the onion bring the perfect amount of crunch.

How to Make Salami Cheese Roll Ups

This recipe comes together in just a few simple steps. Here’s how to make these easy salami pinwheels:

1. Prepare your base.
   Start by laying out a piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. This helps you roll everything tightly and keeps the shape perfect while chilling.
2. Layer the salami.
   Lay out 6 slices of hard salami, overlapping slightly so there are no gaps. This will form a rectangular sheet. Repeat this process until you have used 18 slices total, creating three layers.
3. Spread the cheese.
   Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the softened garlic and herb Boursin evenly over the salami.
4. Add the toppings.
   Sprinkle the chopped red pepper and diced onion over the cheese layer.
5. Roll it up.
   Roll tightly, starting with the long side for smaller-diameter roll ups or the short side for larger pinwheels. Use the plastic wrap to help keep the roll tight and compact. I like to use the plastic wrap to help me roll it up and get it nice and tight.
6. Chill.
   Wrap the roll completely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. This helps the roll firm up and makes it easier to slice cleanly.
7. Slice and serve.
   Unwrap, slice into bite-sized pieces, and serve immediately with your favorite crackers.

Serving Ideas

These salami cheese roll ups pair perfectly with:

• Butter crackers or rosemary crackers
• A charcuterie board
