It’s Football Season upon us, and the epic tailgating events and potlucks a possibility, you’ll need to prepare this recipe at least once in the course of this season. This keto-friendly Pickle Popper Recipe will surely be popular at your next event, not just with your non-Keto family and friends. This is a fantastic option to the Jalapeno Poppers or Potato Skins and the addition of sodium and pickles can be helpful if have muscle cramps or being sick with the Keto Flu.
The only method to baking these recipes is to ensure they are baked for long enough to create crisp bacon and to utilize an oven rack to bake them on the baking sheet. It is a good idea to pay attention to the recommendation to cover on the baking pan with aluminum foil prior to baking to make it easier later on when the time comes to cleaning up the dishes later.
All the ingredients for the Pickle Popper recipe should all be available in all grocery stores, making it one of our easiest recipes we’ve come up with to this point. You don’t have to hunt for difficult ingredients to make a gourmet dish You may even have the majority of this ingredients in your kitchen. I suggest 3 pickles per serving However, don’t hesitate to alter the recipe to your requirements. The pickles appear to be more filling than the jalapenos used in this dish. I was able to eat 5 of them before becoming completely full.
To serve as dipping sauces, these go well with your standard ranch dressing as well as some Sour Cream. You can make any you like for your dipping sauce or even a spicy one to make things an extra level. I also highly encourage creative thinking with this recipe and I can imagine some people opting to add diced jalapenos to the cream cheese mixture in place of chives and easy modifications similar to this.
KETO PICKLE POPPER RECIPE
Ease of Preparation: Easy
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cooking Time: 40 Minutes
Total Time: 65 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
6 Medium Dill Pickles (Halved)
6 Ounces Cream Cheese
3/4 Cup Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
1 TBSP Chives
1/2 TBSP Red Pepper Flakes
12 Slices Smoked Bacon
Favorite Dipping Sauces
INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-Heat the Oven to 400*F.
Cut your Pickles in half, then take out the seedy part inside by using the teaspoon.
Make sure to pat the Pickles dry completely using a paper towel to get rid of any moisture.
Within the Large Mixing Bowl combine the Cream Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, Chives, and Red Flakes of Pepper, and mix using a hand mixer for approximately 1 minute.
The middle portion of pickles should be filled using the Cream Cheese Mixture, I find this to be the easiest to make by hand, however don’t hesitate to make use of pastry bags if you are looking to go all out.
On the large baking sheet, Cover this using Aluminum Foil as well as an Baking Rack made of wire. This will allow for an even cooking process and easy cleaning later. If you do not have a baking rack, you will not get your poppers’ bottoms as crisp, but they’ll be able to make good results.
Wrap the pickles in bacon , wrapping them in spiral fashion and place them on the Baking Rack.
In the oven, bake at 400°F for 35-40 minutes. However, this can differ based on the time it takes your particular bacon to get crispy. I like Kirkland Signature Bacon from Costco It is quite heavy and can contribute to your baking times. In my case, it took 35-40 minutes.
Remove the baking dish from the oven , and then allow to be cool in the refrigerator for approximately 5 minutes prior to serving.
Combine with your preferred dip sauces.
