Lately all I have been wanting is fried green tomatoes and fried pickles. Every time we go out to eat those are the first items I search for, I have always loved them but before being pregnant I tried to keep away from these types of appetizers but now I am very much enjoying them! On my way home from work tonight I knew I wanted one of my new fried favorites, I didn’t happen to have green tomatoes on hand but a jar of pickles was all ready for me! Thankfully, I had seen a recipe for “fried” pickles that were actually baked at home. After a few easy steps I was dipping these babies into some ranch and having a wonderful night on my couch. Hope you love them as much as I do.
Ingredients:
1 egg
3 to 4 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. seasoning salt
1 tsp. pepper
deli style dill pickles, already thinly sliced
1-1/2 c. bread crumbs
Directions:
- Turn on broiler in oven (500°F). Place bread crumbs into bowl; set aside. In another bowl, beat egg. Add in flour and mix until it’s like a paste.
- Stir in the seasoning salt and pepper until well combined.
- Add the pickles to the paste mixture and toss until well-coated.
- One at a time, coat pickles with bread crumbs and place on cookie sheet. Bake 4 to 6 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and flip over each pickle slice. Bake an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
You could make these in bigger patches, but I have a feeling they would get soggy. This took me a total of 10 minutes, so I think it would be worth making when the mood strikes. Enjoy!
