Pickle Roll Appetizer

Ingredients

  • 6 large dill pickles

  • 6 unsliced submarine sandwich buns

  • 1 (8 oz) package lite cream cheese, softened

If you’re looking for a fun, fast, and unexpectedly addictive snack, this pickle roll appetizer is a must-try. With only three ingredients and no cooking involved, it’s perfect for summer BBQs, potlucks, or lazy-day grazing.

Cooking Steps

  • 1

    Lay pickles and buns side by side. Trim the ends of the rolls so they’re the same length as the pickles.

  • 2

    Use a serrated knife to cut a hole through the center of each bun, slightly wider than your pickles.

  • 3

    Generously spread cream cheese on the inside of each hole.

  • 4

    Slide in a whole pickle, then slice the roll into ½-inch bite-sized rounds.

How to Use It:
