Pickles in a Blanket: TikTok’s Viral Fried Cheese & Pickle Roll Recipe

Every now and then, TikTok delivers a recipe so simple and so quirky that it instantly goes viral. Enter the Pickle in a Blanket (also called the fried cheese & pickle roll). With just two ingredients—a slice of cheese and a dill pickle spear—you get the ultimate salty, crunchy, tangy snack. It’s fast, fun, and downright addictive.

Ingredients

• 1 slice of melty cheese (cheddar, provolone, Havarti, or your favorite)

• 1 dill pickle spear

• Nonstick skillet (no oil needed)

Optional Add-ons:

• Dash of hot sauce

• Garlic powder or paprika

4. Using a spatula, gently fold or roll the cheese around the pickle.

5. Remove carefully and place on a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.
