Equipment
To create this recipe, you will need a baking sheet, parchment paper and a cheese grater if you are grating your own cheese.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Good for 3-5 days.
These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
Top Tip
Instead of buying pre-shredded cheese, buy blocks of cheese and shred them yourself. Cheese that is bought pre-shredded has a film on it that makes it harder for the cheese to melt evenly. When shredding the cheese yourself, the cheese will melt more evenly giving a better crisp.
FAQ
The melted cheese will be a little oily. Dab the pickle cheese chips with a paper towel to decrease the amount of leftover oil.
These pickle chips go well when served with a copycat Buffalo Wild Wings fried pickle sauce, copycat burger king zesty sauce, or something as simple as ranch dressing or ranch dip.
If you cut the pickle chips into bread slice sized squares, you can use them as a replacement for bread to make pickle cheese sandwiches.
