  • Flavor: Tangy dill pickle slices paired with sharp, crispy melted cheese create a savory and bold snack.
  • Prep Note: Pat pickle slices dry to avoid sogginess and help the cheese make a crispy crust.
  • Swaps: Try different cheeses like mozzarella, gouda, or stuffed cheese blends for variety.
  • Yield: About 20 cheese pickle chips per batch, perfect for snacking or sharing.

2 Easy Ingredients

  • Pickles: Buy any brand of hamburger dill pickles (pickles sliced into rounds) for this recipe. Pat both sides of the pickles dry before covering with cheese and baking. You can also make your own slices from whole dill pickles.
  • Cheese: Shredded parmesan and cheddar cheese are the best options. They melt well and harden to a crisp when cool. For best results, shred from a block and avoid the packaged pre-shredded version, which contains anti-caking ingredients that can interfere with melting.

Delish Dip to Try

Serve with ranch, sour cream, or blue cheese dip for a deep, flavorful creamy finish. For a double dose of dill, try my creamy pickle dip.

Leftovers

Serve these immediately. They don’t freeze or keep well, so best to make fresh every time.
