Ingredients

• 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.
