Cheese-Wrapped Pickles Snack (Printable)

Crispy cheese envelopes tangy pickles for a savory, satisfying snack bursting with flavor.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cheese

01 - 8 slices cheddar cheese, each approximately 4 inches long; substitutes may include mozzarella, provolone, or any suitable melting cheese

→ Pickles

02 - 8 whole dill pickle spears, approximately 4 inches long, thoroughly drained and patted dry

→ Optional Flavorings

03 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili powder, optional
04 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
05 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How to make it:

01 - Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat to ensure even melting.
02 - Place one slice of cheese flat in the hot skillet and allow it to melt and bubble for 1 to 2 minutes, until the edges begin to crisp.
03 - Position a pickle spear at one end of the melted cheese using a spatula, then roll the cheese around the pickle, resting the seam side down to seal.
04 - Continue cooking for an additional 30 seconds to set the seam, then transfer the wrapped pickle onto a plate lined with parchment paper.
05 - Repeat melting and wrapping steps for the remaining cheese slices and pickle spears.
06 - Allow the cheese-wrapped pickles to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, permitting the cheese exterior to crisp.
07 - Optionally, dust with smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, or freshly ground black pepper before serving.
