Fried Cheesy Pickles Recipes

FRIED PICKLES

Steps:

• Cover a plate with parchment paper or wax paper. In a shallow dish, combine buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Place pickles in mixture and set aside.
• Pour the flour, cornmeal, seafood seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning into a large, resealable plastic bag; shake to mix well. Add pickles a few at a time and tumble gently to coat evenly with the flour mixture. Remove and place on prepared plate.
• Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet.
• Fry pickles in several batches until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside with a moist interior, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, combine buttermilk ranch dressing with 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning; blend. Serve as a dipping sauce for warm pickles.

FRIED CHEESY PICKLES WITH SRIRANCHA

Steps:

• Heat oil to about 375 degrees. Lay out one egg roll wrapper. Put a slice of cheese on the wrapper. Lay one pickle spear corner to corner in the cheese and wrapper. Roll up the little wrapper like an egg roll, tuck in the ends, and dip your finger in water or pickle juice to wet the edge and seal. Lower them into the hot oil, and fry just until the outside is golden brown. Fry about 3 or 4 minutes. Combine Ranch and sriracha for desired heat.

FLAMIN' HOT® FRIED PICKLES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place beaten egg in a flat dish.
• Place Cheetos® and cayenne in a food processor. Pulse until crumbs are achieved. Pour into a separate bowl.
• Dip a pickle slice in the egg and coat with Cheetos® crumb mixture. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining pickle slices.
• Fry pickle slices in the hot oil, working in batches, for 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let sit for 2 minutes for final crisping.

FRIED CHEESY PICKLES

Steps:

• Pour 2 inches oil into a large pot and heat to 360 degrees F. Line a plate with a paper towel.
• Stir together the ranch dressing and sriracha to taste in a bowl. Set aside.
• 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.
• 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.

ALMOST-FAMOUS FRIED PICKLES

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Mix the mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup and Cajun seasoning in a bowl; set aside.
• Fry the pickles: Heat 1 inch peanut oil in a pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl until smooth. Spread the pickles on paper towels and pat dry.
• Add half of the pickles to the batter and toss to coat. Remove from the batter using a slotted spoon, letting the excess drip off, and add to the oil one at a time. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Return the oil to 375 degrees F and repeat with the remaining pickles and batter. Serve immediately with the prepared sauce.
