Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Pickles
- 6 large dill pickles, halved lengthwise and hollowed out
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix together the softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and shredded cheddar cheese until all ingredients are well combined and creamy.
- Hollow out the pickles: Slice each pickle in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the centers using a small spoon to create enough space for stuffing, ensuring the outer pickle flesh remains intact.
- Stuff the pickles: Using a spoon, fill each hollowed-out pickle half with the prepared cheese mixture, packing it in tightly to fill the cavity completely.
- Air fry the stuffed pickles: Arrange the stuffed pickles in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Notes
- For best results, use firm dill pickles that hold their shape well when scooped.
- If you prefer a spicier filling, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or finely chopped jalapeños.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor; leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated briefly in the air fryer.
- Adjust air frying time slightly based on your air fryer model and pickle size.
