Cheddar and Pickle Chips
Holiday 2024
Ontario produces great dill pickles. Some of our favourites include Marty’s, Alchemy Pickle Company and Tymek’s. Use whatever homegrown brand you can find near you. Black River, Maple Dale and Balderson are all excellent Ontario cheddars, and the right kind for the job.
To make 12, place a scant 2 tsp (about 8 mL) grated medium cheddar in bottom of each cup in a 12-cup muffin tin. Top with two thin coins Ontario pickles. Sprinkle with 1 tsp (5 mL) more cheddar and bake in 400°F (204°C) oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden. Let come to room temp and remove each in one piece with a paring knife (chips may be made up to 4 hours in advance). Top each with a dollop of cream cheese and a generous pinch of chili powder.
