About these Cheesy Crispy Dill Pickles:
This is extremely easy to make and extremely flavorful! The ingredients are also super basic and probably a list of ingredients you've already got in your pantry; pickles, cheese and for the crispy factor I'm using crushed pork rinds.
The pork rinds, in this recipe work for the coating of the pickles along with some egg whites what will work as our glue. You can get them at the store or you can crush some classic pork rinds (I try to stick to humanely raised pork) or you can also simply use almond flour to keep this recipe low carb and gluten free.
What's in these Cheesy Crispy Dill Pickles?
As I mentioned earlier, I used a pork rind panko, egg whites for the coating, cheese, seasonings and of course our main ingredient, pickles! The seasonings included in this recipe are real salt, black pepper, garlic powder and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Just a fun veggie snack or appetizer! You can even add this to your salads and burgers for a next level of yumminess.
