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.

CHEESY PICKLE NACHOS

Steps:

• For the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the flour. Cook, whisking continuously, until the roux starts to smell toasty but has not taken on any color yet, about 5 minutes. Carefully whisk in the milk until there are no lumps. Add the beer, mustard powder, salt and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, whisking, then cook until thick enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the grated cheese and cream cheese and whisk until melted. Turn the heat to very low and keep warm.
• For the cheesy pickle nachos: Score the brats and char in a grill pan heated over medium-high for a few minutes on each side or in a saute pan under the broiler. (This can also be done on the grill outside.) Remove from the heat and slice on a hard bias. Set aside and keep warm.
• Dump the bag of chips into a serving dish. Top with the warm cheese sauce, sliced brats, pickle chips and chopped dill. Drizzle on the sriracha and ranch dressing and serve immediately.

CRISPY CHEESE PICKLE CHIPS IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Sprinkle 1 teaspoon shredded cheese into a non stick muffin pan.
• Place one pickle on top of the shredded cheese.
• Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon shredded cheese on top of the pickle. It won't cover it completely and that's okay.
• Sprinkle each chip with Everything bagel seasoning if using. Note: you can use any seasoning you want you you can bake them without any seasoning. I want to encourage you to try them both ways.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 6 minutes or until the edges of the cheese are dark brown and all the cheese has fully melted.
• I've noticed the silicone pans take about 3 minutes longer to get those crispy edges.
• These cheese should be bubbling and flat. If the cheese is not bubbling they will not turn out crispy. Be sure not to take them out of the oven too soon. If you do it will just be melted cheese and it didn't have enough time to form a cheese crust that holds the chip together. The darker brown the cheese the crunchier the chip.
