For the Coating
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour or gluten-free flour
  • 2 large Eggs or flaxseed meal for vegan option
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs or regular breadcrumbs
For Frying
  • 2 cups Oil for frying; sunflower or canola oil are great substitutes

  • 1/2 cup Spicy Mayonnaise or sriracha mixed for a zesty kick

Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • apple corer
  • three mixing bowls
  • Slotted Spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by slicing the ends off your dill pickles, then use an apple corer to hollow them out carefully, setting aside the centers for later use.
  2. Take a slice of ham and wrap it around a mozzarella stick, creating a lovely filling for each hollowed pickle.
  3. Once stuffed, slice each pickle into ¼-inch rounds.
  4. Create a lovely coating station by placing three bowls in a row: flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
  5. In a frying pan, heat oil to 375°F (190°C) over medium-high heat.
  6. Carefully place the coated pickle slices into the hot oil, frying them for 1–2 minutes until they achieve a golden brown color.
  7. Once they are perfectly fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the stuffed fried pickles from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
