How to make Pickles and Cheese
These cheesy pickles are a game-changer for snack time. I love the combination of the salty cheese and the tangy pickle. They’re quick, tasty, and perfect for satisfying those late-night cravings!
- Prepare the Cheese: In a small skillet, sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese, forming a circle about the size of your pickle. This will be the cheesy wrap for your pickle.
- Season the Cheese: Lightly sprinkle paprika and garlic powder over the cheese. This adds a burst of flavor to your snack.
- Melt and Crisp the Cheese: Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the cheese to melt and cook until one side becomes crispy and golden brown.
- Wrap: Place a pickle at the edge of the melted cheese. Using a spatula, carefully roll the cheese around the pickle, creating a delicious, cheesy wrap.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the cheese-wrapped pickle from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
I also have another Fried Pickles Recipe that includes crispy panko crumbs. It’s totally different from this recipe; it’s more like a piece of fried chicken, but it’s also so good!
