Pastrami and Pepper Roll-Ups

I'm always looking for something out of the ordinary when it comes to appetizers and this one sounds yummy and easy.


1/2 lb. sliced pastrami (from deli)
1/3 cup chive and onion cream cheese spread (from 8 oz container)
1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers (from a jar) drained, cut into 3/4-inch wide strips
Fresh rosemary, if desired

Spread each pastrami slice with cream cheese spread. Top each with roasted pepper piece at one edge, roll up each tightly. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until firm.

Cut each roll into 1-inch thick pieces. Secure each with fresh rosemary or cocktail toothpick.

Note: Before assembling the roll-ups, blot the pepper strips with paper towels so they stick to the cream cheese when they are rolled.
