Melted Cheese Pickle Rolls (Print Version)

Golden crispy rolls with melted cheese enveloping tangy pickles, ideal for quick snacks or appetizers.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cheese

01 - 8 slices mozzarella or cheddar cheese (about 0.7 oz each)

→ Pickles

02 - 8 dill pickle spears, well-drained and patted dry

→ Optional Additions

03 - 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
04 - 1 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1 tsp smoked paprika

→ For Cooking

06 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter or neutral oil

# How to Make It:

01 - Pat the pickle spears dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02 - Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
03 - Place 1 slice of cheese in the skillet and let it melt and bubble until the edges turn golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.
04 - Place a pickle spear on one edge of the melted cheese and carefully roll the cheese around it using a spatula to form a tight cylinder.
05 - Remove the roll from the skillet and place on a plate. Repeat with remaining cheese slices and pickle spears.
06 - Optionally, sprinkle rolls with fresh dill, garlic powder, or smoked paprika while still warm.
07 - Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes and uses ingredients you probably already have in the fridge.
  • The contrast between crispy cheese and cool, briny pickle is weirdly addictive.
  • You can make them one at a time or all at once, and people always ask for the recipe.
02 -
  • If the pickles aren't dry enough, the cheese will slide right off and you'll end up with a mess instead of a roll.
  • Medium heat is non-negotiable—I burned my first batch by cranking it up, and they tasted like regret.
03 -
  • Use a nonstick skillet or the cheese will stick and tear when you try to roll it.
  • If you're making a big batch, keep the finished rolls warm in a low oven while you work through the rest.
