Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, roll them up to 24 hours in advance and keep refrigerated. Slice just before serving to prevent drying.
What cheese can I use if I don't have Boursin?
Any spreadable garlic and herb cheese works, or mix softened cream cheese with minced garlic, dried herbs, and salt.
How thick should I slice the finished roll-ups?
Slice about 1/4 inch thick to keep the layers intact while allowing easy handling and serving.
Can I use a different colored pepper?
Yes, yellow, orange, or green peppers work just as well; red simply adds color contrast.
How long do these keep in the refrigerator?
Store covered for up to 2 days; the salami will gradually release moisture, so eat within 48 hours for best texture.
