Pickle Poppers

  • I haven't made these yet but I can't wait to try them - I do not like traditional poppers and love pickles so I'm hoping this recipe will be a great alternative to poppers! 


    12 whole baby dill pickles

  • 1 (8-oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened (1/2 cup)

  • 2 oz. cheddar cheese, finely shredded

  • 1 to 2 jalapeƱo peppers, seeded and finely chopped

  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder

  • Salt and ground black pepper

  • 12 thin slices deli ham or turkey, halved

  • 2 Tbsp. jalapeƱo jam or hot pepper jelly (optional)


  1. Prepare Your Pickles 

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Halve the pickles lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the centers. Pat dry.

  2. Combine Pickle Popper Mixture 

    In a medium bowl combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeƱos, garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer cream cheese mixture to a re-sealable plastic bag. Snip the corner of the bag and pipe cream cheese mixture into the pickle halves. Wrap each pickle half with ham and secure with a toothpick, if needed. Place pickles in a foil-lined baking pan. If desired, brush with jam.

  3. Bake and Enjoy 

    Bake about 15 minutes or until heated through.
