How to Make Bloomin’ Savory Roses

Make the rolls first, then cut them into small sections. Place the sections on skewers with cherry tomatoes to give them a bright flower look.

Ingredients

Soft flour tortilla ribbons
Thinly sliced gourmet salami
Sliced provolone cheese
Creamy spreadable cream cheese
Juicy red cherry tomatoes
Fresh sweet basil leaves
Knotted bamboo cocktail skewers

Directions

Lay the soft flour tortilla ribbons on a clean cutting board. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over each ribbon.
Add sliced salami and provolone cheese on top of the cream cheese.
Place fresh basil leaves over the cheese.
Roll each tortilla ribbon tightly into a log.
Slice each log into small, even sections.
Slide the rolled sections onto the cocktail skewers. Add cherry tomatoes between the rolls to make a flower-like design.
Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve as a fun snack.

How to Serve Bloomin’ Savory Roses

Serve these savory roses cold on a large plate or wooden board. Add extra basil leaves around the skewers for a garden look.

You can serve them with ranch dip, marinara sauce, honey mustard, or a simple cream cheese dip. They are great for birthday parties, brunch, picnics, and snack tables.

How to Store Bloomin’ Savory Roses

Store leftover skewers in an airtight container in the fridge. Keep them cold and eat them within one day for the best taste and texture.

If possible, store the cherry tomatoes separately. This can help keep the tortilla rolls from getting too soft. Do not freeze the skewers because the cream cheese and vegetables may change texture after thawing.

Tips to Make Bloomin’ Savory Roses

Use soft tortillas so they roll without cracking.
Spread only a thin layer of cream cheese. Too much filling can make the rolls slide apart.
Use a sharp knife to cut clean, even pieces.
Chill the rolled tortilla logs for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing if they feel soft.
Dry the basil leaves before adding them so the rolls stay firm.
Take care with the pointed ends of the skewers, especially when serving children.

Variations

You can change the fillings to fit your taste. Try turkey and cheddar cheese instead of salami and provolone. Ham, mozzarella, and spinach also taste good together.

For a vegetarian version, use roasted red peppers, cucumber strips, shredded carrots, and extra cheese. You can also use yellow or orange cherry tomatoes for a brighter platter.
