Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, block, grated (about 1/2 cup shredded)
- 2 tablespoons green onions, diced
- 1/2 cup dill pickles, diced (about 2 pickle spears)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, diced
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Cook the bacon by your preferred method—whether air frying, baking in the oven, or frying in a skillet—until crispy. Drain excess fat and crumble into small pieces.
- Mix Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, diced dill pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, coarse black pepper, and pickle juice. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Prepare Bacon and Green Onion Mixture: Chop the cooked bacon and diced green onions into small pieces, then place them in a small bowl and stir until evenly mixed.
- Portion Cream Cheese Mixture: Measure out the cream cheese mixture into 16 equal portions (approximately 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Form the Fat Bombs: Roll each tablespoon-sized portion of cream cheese mixture into a uniform ball using your hands.
- Coat with Bacon Mixture: Roll each ball in the bacon and green onion mixture until well coated. Place the finished fat bombs on a serving dish or platter.
- Chill Before Serving: Cover the fat bombs with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm and ready to serve.
Notes
- To save time, bacon can be cooked in the oven or air fryer in batches for even crispiness.
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to make mixing easier and smoother.
- These fat bombs should be stored refrigerated and are best enjoyed within 3 to 5 days.
- You can adjust the amount of pickle juice or dill to suit your taste preference.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
