Instructions

Step 1: Prep the "Pickle Bread"
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Dry the Pickles
Use a paper towel to pat the pickle slices dry. This step is important—it helps the cheesy "bread" crisp up nicely in the oven.

Step 3: Build the Base
On the baking sheet, sprinkle half the cheese into two rectangles (these will be your top and bottom "slices"). Arrange 4 pickle slices on each rectangle. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the pickles.

Step 4: Bake
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Let them cool on the sheet before removing—this makes them easier to handle and extra crispy.

Step 5: Fry the Eggs
Heat avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Crack in your Chino Valley Ranchers eggs and season with salt and pepper. Fry to your preferred doneness, then set aside.
