Cheese-Wrapped Pickles Snack (Printable Version)
Pickles wrapped in crisp cheese offer a savory, low-carb snack with irresistible texture and flavor.
# What You'll Need:
→ Cheese
01 - 8 slices cheddar cheese, or substitute mozzarella, provolone, or other melting cheese

→ Optional Flavorings
03 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika or chili powder, optional
04 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, optional

# Steps to Follow:
01 - Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until evenly warmed.
02 - Place one slice of cheese flat in the skillet and allow it to melt and bubble for 1 to 2 minutes until edges begin to crisp.
03 - Set a pickle spear at one end of the melted cheese, then gently roll the cheese around the pickle using a spatula, resting the seam side down in the pan to seal.
04 - Cook the wrapped pickle for an additional 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate lined with parchment paper.
05 - Repeat melting and wrapping with remaining cheese slices and pickle spears.
06 - Allow wrapped pickles to rest for 2 to 3 minutes; cheese will crisp as it cools.
