kcalIngredients
8 oz block of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack), cut into cubes
½ cup dill pickle brine
¼ cup chopped dill pickles
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley (optional)
Directions
- Place cheese cubes in a medium jar or airtight container.
- In a small bowl, whisk together pickle brine, olive oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), and chopped pickles.
- Pour the mixture over the cheese cubes until fully submerged.
- Add fresh dill or parsley on top, seal the container, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (best overnight).
- Stir gently before serving and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use cheese that’s firm enough to hold its shape but porous enough to absorb flavor — avoid soft cheeses.
- Marinated cheese keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Great for skewers with olives and pickles or tossed into salads.
