Pickles And Cheese Recipes

PICKLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Rinse the feta cheese, and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into half-inch cubes. In a 1 pint glass jar, place a layer of cheese cubes, followed by a layer of thyme. Repeat layers until the jar is nearly full. Whisk together the white wine vinegar and honey; pour over the cheese until the jar is full. Screw the lid on, and leave in the refrigerator to marinate for at least one day.

PICKLES AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Combine 1 ounce cheddar cheese and 2 pickles, or 1 ounce cheddar cheese and 2 teaspoons jam on crackers. Try aged cheddar with golden plum, apricot, or peach jam.

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.

DILL PICKLE MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 7 minutes, making sure not to overcook. Drain and set aside.
• While the macaroni is cooking, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat in a large saucepan. Blend in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Mix in Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese; stir until melted. Add dill pickle relish, onion, Sriracha sauce, salt, and pepper to cheese mixture. Stir in cooked macaroni. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
• Butter both sides of bread and tear into large pieces. Blend in a food processor or electric blender until you have crumbs. Spread on top of casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and browned on top, about 45 minutes.

BRANSTON PICKLE AND CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place the cheese on bread or roll.
• Spread bread or roll with as much pickle as you desire (has to be Brandeston to get the full effect) the more you add, the better the taste.
• Put top piece of bread on.
• Cut into a diagonal triangle.
• Enjoy.

CHEESE AND PICKLE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread mayonnaise and mustard on bread. Trim cheese slices to fit bread and place on one slice. Lay pickles over cheese and top with second slice of bread.
• This is a little easier to eat if cut in half, since the pickle slices tend to want to escape.

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.

CREAM CHEESE PICKLES

Steps:

• Spread or pat cream cheese around each pickle. Wrap 2 sheets of meat around each pickle. Refrigerate pickles overnight, and slice before serving.
