Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Evenly distribute about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese into the bottom of each of the 12 muffin cups. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Top the cheese in each cup with 2 dill pickle slices. Cover the pickle slices with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes over each cup. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown with crispy edges, approximately 25 minutes. (Bake time: 25 minutes)

05

Step

Remove from the oven and let the cheesy pickle chips stand in the muffin tin for 10 minutes to allow them to firm up slightly. (Rest time: 10 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully remove the chips from the muffin tin and drain on paper towels to cool completely. (Cool time: 15 minutes)

For best results, ensure the pickle slices are patted dry before assembling to prevent soggy chips.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, to customize the flavor.
These cheesy pickle chips are best served immediately while the cheese is still warm and gooey. However, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for optimal crispness.
