Ingredients
Cooking spray
4 tablespoons finely crushed crunchy Cheetos, divided
4 slices sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
4 dill pickle spears
Instructions
- Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove from heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Return skillet to medium heat and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crushed Cheetos in an area roughly the size of a cheese slice.
- Place a slice of sharp Cheddar cheese directly on top of the crushed Cheetos. Cook until melted and lightly browned at the edges, 2–3 minutes.
- Place one pickle spear in the center of the melted cheese. Gently fold the edges of the cheese around the pickle to form a rollup.
- Remove from skillet and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients, wiping out skillet and re-spraying with cooking spray as needed.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Best served fresh for maximum crispiness.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to restore crispiness—avoid microwaving.
- Swap cheeses or seasonings for flavor variations.
- Use gluten-free cheese puffs to make the recipe fully gluten-free.
