What Ingredients Are in Stuffed Dill Pickles?

• Dill Pickles: Provides a tangy, crunchy base for the herb stuffed mixture.
• Goat Cheese: Adds a creamy and slightly tangy flavor that complements the pickles.
• Fresh Italian Parsley: Offers a fresh, herbal note to balance the richness of the cheese.
• Fresh Oregano Leaves: Enhances the cheese with a robust, aromatic flavor.

Pro Tip: Use large, sturdy pickles to make stuffing easier and ensure they hold up well. Small pickles are harder to fill and stuff.

How to Make Stuffed Dill Pickles:

1. Mix goat cheese with minced parsley and oregano in a small mixing bowl.
2. Slice dill pickles in half and scoop out the seeds from the dill pickle halves using a small spoon.
3. Stuff the cheese mixture into the center of the pickle slice.
4. Chill before serving to let the flavors meld.

Pro Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, let the stuffed pickles sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. That allows the flavors to meld making this the perfect make ahead appetizer.
