Fried Cheesy Pickles

Level: Intermediate
Total: 35 min
Active: 25 min
Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. Flavorless oil, for deep-frying
  2. 2 cups ranch dressing
  3. Sriracha, to taste
  4. 12 dill pickle spears
  5. 12 slices Havarti cheese
  6. 12 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

  1. Pour 2 inches oil into a large pot and heat to 360 degrees F. Line a plate with a paper towel.
  2. Stir together the ranch dressing and sriracha to taste in a bowl. Set aside.
  3. Drain the pickles and use a paper towel to pat off any excess moisture (I like to save the brine and use it again!). Wrap each pickle in a slice of cheese, then fold and roll the cheese-wrapped pickle in an egg roll wrapper. Fold up the left side, then the right and roll up tightly like a burrito, using a bit of water on your finger to seal the sides.
  4. Working in batches to not overcrowd the pot, fry the pickles until golden brown and crispy on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the lined plate to drain and cool slightly. Slice in half crosswise and serve with the Sriracha ranch.

I may not have used enough cheese, so take with a grain of salt but these just didn’t come out as yummy as they looked.

These are great, I used pepper jack cheese and spritzed with oil and cooked in air fryer @390 for about 8 minutes. So good and easy for quick snack.

Just saw this today and ran out to buy ingredients. We are going to put some shaved ham in ours along with the havarti. Kind of like a fried ham and cheese sandwich with a hearty serving of pickle! Just our speed. Thanks for the idea!

I changed the dill to bread and butter pickles, because they’re my favorite; but this was so yummy!
Lindsay Wilkins
I found that if you bring the cheese slices to room temperature before you roll the cheese around the pickle it doesn’t break apart. We enjoyed the pickles and we will make them again
Alexander Carter
We absolutely loved these! The cheese and pickles paired perfectly inside the egg roll. He made half of them with Havarti with spicy pickles and the other half with Swiss with regular dill pickles, because that’s all we had in the house and oh boy were they delicious!! Definitely want to make them again.

Good stuff! Worked really well and tasted great

I didn’t have havarti on hand, and I had to revise. I made some with mozzarella and others with cheddar. My family loved them!

I love fried pickles and these were the best. This recipe was so easy and a big hit.
