Easy Bacon-Wrapped Pickle Poppers

Print Recipe

Hollowed-out pickle halves filled with a creamy cheese mixture, wrapped in bacon, and baked until crispy and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 whole dill pickles, sliced lengthwise and hollowed out
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
  • 10 slices bacon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice pickles lengthwise and hollow out the centers using a spoon or melon baller. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and ranch seasoning. Mix until smooth.
  4. Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a pastry bag or plastic bag with the tip cut off and pipe the filling into the hollowed-out pickle halves.
  5. Wrap each stuffed pickle half with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy and filling is warm.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Optionally serve with ranch or spicy aioli dipping sauce.

Notes

For best results, use firm dill pickles and ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing. These poppers can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 6-8 minutes for a quicker option.
