Ingredients
Scale
- 1 jar (16 oz) dill pickle spears, drained and patted dry
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Oil for frying
- Ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Lay out the pickle spears on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a bowl, combine the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place a spoonful of the bacon and cheese mixture onto each pickle spear and wrap tightly.
- Prepare three separate bowls for breading: one with flour seasoned with paprika, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Roll each bacon and cheese-wrapped pickle first in the seasoned flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the breaded pickles in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
- Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve the Cheesy Bacon Fried Pickles hot with ranch dressing for dipping.
