Ingredients
Scale
Pickle Chips
- 24 dill pickle hamburger chips
Cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheese (such as cheddar or a blend)
Seasoning
- 3 tbsp dry ranch seasoning (from a packet)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175°C) to prepare for baking the chips.
- Prepare Pickles: Drain the dill pickle chips and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. This will help the cheese crisp up and prevent sogginess.
- Layer Cheese: Using a mini muffin pan, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese into each tin, creating a base for the chips.
- Add Pickles: Place one dill pickle chip on top of the shredded cheese in each muffin tin.
- Season & Top with Cheese: Evenly sprinkle dry ranch seasoning over each pickle. Then add about ½ teaspoon more shredded cheese on top of each chip, ensuring extra cheesy flavor.
- Bake: Place the mini muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 6 minutes or until the cheese turns brown and begins to bubble.
- Cool & Crisp: Remove the pan from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes. Then transfer each chip onto a paper towel to allow them to crisp up further as they cool.
- Serve: Enjoy the Cheesy Pickle Chips plain or paired with your favorite dip for added flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to pat the pickle chips dry to prevent soggy cheese crisps.
- Use a mini muffin pan to keep the cheese contained and form perfect bite-sized pieces.
- Customize with your favorite shredded cheese blends for varied flavor.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
- Pair with ranch dressing or a spicy dip for extra zest.
