Your Burger Just Got So Much Better—Try Making a "Chickle" Crisp Topper

A chickle—cheese crisp wrapped around a pickle—is a new trending keto-friendly snack. We took this idea one step further and made one big chickle crisp that sandwiches dill pickle chips between two layers of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in the oven and enjoy a crispy, pickle-flavored snack. If you're a fan of all of the crispy, crunchy social media trending recipe ideas like smashed veggies, cheese crisps, and anything crispy or crunchy, you'll love this chickle recipe.

How to Make a Chickle

A chickle is an easy two-ingredient keto-friendly burger topper, sandwich bun, or keto snack. All you need are the dill pickle chips and shredded cheddar cheese. Use a baking pan covered in parchment paper to prevent any sticking, layer your cheese and top with your pickles, then simply bake and cool.

Once your chickle is at room temperature, the easiest way to cut it is with a pair of clean kitchen scissors, or you can rip off pieces carefully with your hands. Wait until the chickle is cooled completely. This will make tearing your chickle into pieces easier and prevent any sticking to the scissors.

The Best Ways to Use a Chickle Crisp

Our favorite way to use a chickle crisp is layer a rectangle on a classic burger for the perfect cheesy, crispy crunch. You could also top a ranch chicken sandwich with a chickle, or any deli sub if you want to add something extra to it. Two chickle crisps can also replace the bun for your sandwiches. It's a keto-friendly and gluten-free option that boosts protein and flavor all at once.

And of course, you can eat this version of a chickle as a delicious crispy snack! Break into smaller pieces, and enjoy.
