Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Deep skillet
- whisk
- Paper towels
- Airtight container
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dill pickle spears or slices Choose crisp and flavorful pickles.
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Fresh cheese enhances flavor.
- 1/2 cup Almond flour Low-carb option; regular flour can be used if not concerned about carbs.
- 1 large Egg For the egg wash.
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Adds flavor to the egg wash.
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder Adds flavor to the egg wash.
- to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning.
- as needed oil Vegetable or canola oil For frying.
Instructions
- Drain and pat dry the pickles with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded cheese and almond flour. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Once the cheese mixture cools slightly, divide it into portions and flatten each into a thin wrap.
- Wrap each pickle spear or slice completely with the cheese mixture, ensuring all sides are covered.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create an egg wash.
- Dip each cheese-wrapped pickle into the egg wash, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of cheese mixture in; if it sizzles, it's ready.
- Carefully place the coated pickles in the hot oil, frying in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Remove the fried pickles and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
