Servings: 6
Ingredients
- About 12 round-cut dill pickle slices blotted dry from the jar
- 1 cup of finely shredded cheddar or a mixture including mozzarella or Parmesan
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder if desired
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika or crushed red chili flakes optional
- Finely minced fresh dill or dry ranch seasoning for finishing touch (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking tray by covering it with parchment paper.
- Distribute roughly one tablespoon of shredded cheese onto the baking sheet per crisp, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart. Gently press to form flat rounds.
- Position a single dill pickle slice atop each cheese circle. If preferred, lightly dust with garlic powder, paprika, or red pepper flakes.
- Bake the tray in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted thoroughly and the edges develop a golden, crispy finish.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crisps to cool directly on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes. As they rest, they will solidify. Carefully lift each chip with a spatula and serve promptly.
Notes
Optional garnishes such as chopped dill or ranch seasoning can be sprinkled over the finished crisps to elevate their flavor.
