Low carb ham and cheese roll-ups. Warm, comforting roll ups made from fathead dough.
These low carb ham and cheese roll-ups are the real deal. Since they are made with a variation of fathead dough, they are low carb, gluten free and keto friendly. I've been playing with a lot of different low carb cheese dough combinations and this has to be my favorite by far. These little ham and cheese pinwheels come in at just 2 net carbs each. It almost seems too good to be true! I may or not have eaten 4 of them as soon as they came out of the oven. I'll never tell! Be sure to check out this Pepperoni Pizza version as well. Need some additional ideas to help you use up extra holiday ham? Here you go!
A note about this Hot Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups recipe:
- It is imperative to the recipe that you use a low-moisture, part skim shredded mozzarella cheese. Switching out the cheese will make these fall flat when baking.
- Larger shreds work better and tend to be dryer. They really help make a better "dough" consistency.
- If you are worried about these rolls spreading out and flattening, try baking them in a muffin tin. Even better, use a silicone muffin pan and cut your clean up time in half.
- For best results you can also make the roll-up and the freeze it for a couple of hours before slicing and baking.

Hot Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups with Dijon Butter Glaze
- Yield: 12 Rolls-Ups 1x
Ingredients
For the Hot Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups
- ¼ cup almond flour (get it here)
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour (get it here)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ cup low-moisture, part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 10 ounces sliced ham
- 1 ½ cups sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
For the Dijon Butter Glaze
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, onion powder and garlic powder.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, butter, and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds to soften. Mix together until everything is well combined. If if gets stringy or is not quite melted enough, put it back in for another 30 seconds.
- To the cheese mixture, add the dry ingredients and the egg. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. If you are having a hard time mixing it, put it back in the microwave for another 20-30 seconds.
- Once the ingredients are combined, spread the dough out on parchment paper or a silpat in a thin and even layer - about 9" by 13". If it starts to get sticky, wet your hands a little bit to prevent it from sticking to you.
- Once you have the dough in a nice, even rectangle, sprinkle the cheddar over top, covering all of the dough.
- Next, layer on the ham.
- Roll the dough up tightly lengthwise. This will produce smaller rolls, but you will get almost twice as many. Turn so that the seam is facing down
- Cut the ends off each side of the roll-up to even it out. Then cut it into 1" slices.
- Place your individual roll-ups in a baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are fluffy and golden brown.
- While they are baking, melt the butter and mix it with the Dijon, Worcestershire, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Fork whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Take your rolls out of the oven, brush the glaze over top of them. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

I was in a big hurry so I used low carb wraps and spread a little cream cheese on them first. So good!! I can only imagine how much better they would be by making the recipe as written. Thank you so very much for shaing.

I just made these last night and they are sooo good! They definitely didn't turn out as pretty as yours, but I got raving reviews from 2 people already. So, needless to say, I'm hooked!

I didn’t add butter to the actual dough. I made it like I would fathead dough. I did 2x the recipe since I have multiple mouths to feed. Came out great! They didn’t come out as pretty, and I probably should’ve gone easy on the shredded cheddar (haha!) because it didn’t roll as tight. Overall, delicious!

Those look delicious!

In looking at the nutritional numbers ( carbs and calories) , it states for 2 roll ups. Are we talking about two individual pieces or 2 of the full rolls?
Kyndra Holley says
2 individual pieces.

Well, mine turned into a puddle, too. But I used sliced white cheddar instead of shredded white cheddar. I think that was just too much for the fathead dough to stand against. It's still super delicious and I'm going to keep trying. Thanks for this lovely recipe. I absolutely adore your site.
