Pastrami Cheese Bites

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (or another mild melting cheese)
• 1/2 lb thinly sliced pastrami

Directions

1. 1. Line a plate or baking sheet with parchment paper.
   2. In a bowl, mix cream cheese and shredded Swiss until smooth.
   3. Lay out pastrami slices and cut into smaller pieces if needed.
   4. Add 1–2 teaspoons of cheese mixture onto each slice.
   5. Fold or roll the pastrami around the filling and place seam-side down.

1. For a softer texture, warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–7 minutes until heated through.
2. Let cool slightly, then serve.

Make ahead if needed—just refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
