Ingredients
- 1 cup pickle slices
- 1 ¾ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for baking the pickle chips.
- Dry Pickles: Pat the pickle slices dry thoroughly using a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring they crisp up nicely in the oven.
- Layer Cheese: Place 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese in the bottom of each cup of a muffin tin to create the base layer.
- Add Pickles: Arrange three pickle slices on top of the cheese layer in each muffin cup.
- Top with Cheese and Season: Add another tablespoon of shredded cheese on top of the pickles. Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Patting the pickles dry is essential to avoid soggy chips and achieve crispiness.
- You can experiment with different types of cheese such as mozzarella or pepper jack for varied flavors.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as the chips can become less crispy when cooled.
- These pickle chips are great served with ranch or a spicy dipping sauce.
