Step 1:

How do you make ham and cheese rolls? Gather the ingredients. Use a cheese like a firm, semi-hard type (Russian or Poshekhonsky work well). It's best to buy the ham pre-sliced, or ask the store to slice it on a machine — that way the slices are thin and roll up easily. If that's not an option, slice the ham yourself as thinly and evenly as you can. I ended up with 14 thin slices.
Step 2:

Hard-boil the eggs ahead of time, cool, and peel them. Chop the eggs finely with a knife.
Step 3:

Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
Step 4:

Peel the garlic and push it through a press.
Step 5:

In a bowl, combine the grated cheese, eggs, and garlic. Dress it all with mayonnaise. If you like, you can add salt and pepper, but I usually don't season mayonnaise-dressed salads.
Step 6:

Mix everything well. Adjust the consistency and the amount of mayonnaise to your taste. Mine came out thick, not runny, and held its shape well. You can add more mayonnaise if you like.
Step 7:

Put 1 tablespoon of the cheese-garlic filling on the edge of a ham slice and roll it up.
Step 8:

Rinse the green onion stalks and dry them thoroughly.
Step 9:

Tie each roll with a stalk of green onion.
Step 10:

Shape all the remaining rolls the same way.
Step 11:

Arrange the rolls on a platter lined with lettuce leaves. If you like, sprinkle them with chopped green onion and small pieces of bell pepper, and serve. Enjoy!

It's best to make the mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use not just mayonnaise as a dressing but sour cream or plain yogurt. Use them on their own, or mix them with mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that lowers the calorie count of the dish.
You can keep this appetizer in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 more days.
