Buzzfeed Tasty posted a video of cheesy stuffed fried pickles and we swooned. But we're novice cooks here at PrettyGoodVideos and we wanted to know if it really would work. Joe is our resident chef in training so here he is, hosting a new cooking series: Joe Cooks. It's his official Buzzfeed Test #1!
In this episode Joe tests one of the most popular Buzzfeed Food Recipes: Cheese-Stuffed Fried Pickle Recipe. Fried pickles are one thing but stuff a pickle with cheese and we're in! It looked so incredibly tasty but would it be cheesy and would it really work? Well, it kind of did. Watch as Joe walks you through it and get his full food review. He learns a lot along the way, like what the heck is Phyllo dough and why is it such a pain to work with. Joe makes cooking seem super easy so if you're interested in knowing how to make something, ask in the comments.
Want to try it yourself? Here's what you need:
Ingredients:

2 - Slice brie cheese in sticks and fill each pickle with a stick of brie
3 - Wrap the pickle carefully in a sheet of phyllo like a burrito (watch how Joe does it)
4 - Scramble 2 eggs in a bowl and dip each wrapped pickle completely in eggs
5 - Then dip them in the breadcrumbs in a bowl and place on a plate until they're all ready to fry
