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!
Recipe Tips and Variations
- 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
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Hot Ham and Cheese Roll-Ups
- ¼ cup blanched almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 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.

What brand or type of almond flour do you use? There are so many and since they are expensive I want to get the right one. Thanks! Your site is awesome.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I either use Bobs Red Mill or I buy it in the bulk section of my local grocery store. The bulk option typically saves a lot of money.
Gloria L. says
Did you use a rolling pin or press the dough out with your fingers until it's 9 x 13"? It looks so even.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I smoothed it out by hand. If it got too sticky in spots, I wet my hands
Liliana says
Finally tried this morning. Came out awesome. Thank you !!
Michele says
In the tips it says to use mozzarella cheese but in recipe it calls for white cheddar cheese? Which one should I be using? Thanks!
Peace Love and Low Carb says
The mozzarella is in the "dough". The white cheddar is inside the roll-up. This recipe calls for both.
Cindy H. says
For those of you that said you followed the recipe to the letter, used the right cheese, etc, and it fell flat, I noticed a couple things:
While baking, it looked like it was going to fall flat, but as it cooked longer, it rose back up. Also, I made it a point to pat my ham slices dry before putting them on the cheese, thinking if I didn't, I'd end up with a soupy mess..
Worked like a charm.

Can you please get rid of your Instagram pop/up? It's bloody annoying and covers the page. I don't have an Instagram account and I don't want one. I quit coming to your site because of it but it's a shame because I really like your recipes and info.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
If you click on it, it goes away.
Heidi says
Can I use ground almond rather than almond flour?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, as long as it is ground finely enough.
