Description
A chickle is a quick and crunchy snack made by wrapping dill pickle spears in golden, crispy cheddar cheese. This two-ingredient recipe is bold, salty, and perfect for parties or casual snacking.
Ingredients
- 8 slices mild cheddar cheese
- 8 dill pickle spears
Instructions
- Bring cheese slices to room temperature for even melting.
- Pat pickle spears dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Place 1–3 cheese slices in the skillet at a time, depending on comfort level.
- When cheese starts to bubble, place a pickle spear slightly off-center on each slice.
- Once cheese is crisp enough to lift, fold one side over the pickle, then fold the other side to fully wrap it.
- Gently roll the chickle in the skillet if needed to brown all sides evenly.
- Remove from skillet when cheese is golden and crisp. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Notes
- Let cheese warm to room temp before cooking for smoother melting.
- Use garlic or spicy dill pickles for variation.
- Try adding a slice of salami for a meatier twist.
- Stick with mild cheddar to avoid overpowering the pickle flavor.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, spicy mayo, or honey mustard.
