Equipment

Mixing bowls
Shallow bowls for breading
Frying pan
Slotted spoon
Paper towels

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
12 dill pickles whole
1 cup almond flour
2 large eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying such as avocado or olive oil

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheeses are fully incorporated and smooth.
Pat the dill pickles dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps ensure a crispy coating later.
Take a slice of pickle and spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture over it. Roll the pickle tightly in the cheese, ensuring that it is fully encased. Repeat this process for all pickles.
In one shallow bowl, place the almond flour. In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dip each cheese-covered pickle roll into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, roll it in the almond flour, ensuring an even coating. Set aside on a plate.
In a large frying pan, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of almond flour into the oil; if it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
Carefully place the coated pickle roll-ups into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the roll-ups from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or sugar-free ketchup.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or spices to customize the flavor of your Fried Cheese Pickle Roll-Ups. These are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven to regain their crispiness if necessary.
