Ingredients
  

For the Pickles
  • 4 large Dill Pickles Choose large, firm pickles for easier stuffing
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces Mozzarella Cheese Substitute with cheddar for extra flavor
  • 4 slices Ham Adds savory depth; turkey can be used as an alternative
For the Coating
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Essential for structure
  • 2 large Eggs (beaten) Ensures everything sticks together nicely
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Produces a light and crispy crust
For Frying
  • 2 inches Oil Choose vegetable or canola oil for frying
For Dipping
  • 1/2 cup Spicy Mayonnaise Can use ranch or aioli as alternatives

Equipment

  • deep skillet or frying pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Slice off the ends of each large dill pickle, then carefully hollow out the inside to create space for stuffing.
  2. Roll a slice of mozzarella cheese tightly with a slice of ham, and stuff it into the hollowed pickles.
  3. Prepare three dishes with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs, then coat each stuffed pickle slice.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet to 375°F (190°C). Test with a piece of bread; it should sizzle.
  5. Fry coated pickle slices for about 1–2 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to keep crispy. Serve hot with spicy mayonnaise.

Notes

For extra crispy pickles, consider double-coating and frying in batches to maintain oil temperature.
