Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine freshly shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses with the finely chopped dill pickles and garlic powder. If you'd like extra crunch, fold in the breadcrumbs.
  3. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with nonstick spray. Form slightly flattened mounds of the cheese mixture on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake the Pickle Cheese Bites for about 6-8 minutes until the cheese melts and edges turn golden brown.
  5. Let the bites cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to become crispier.
  6. Serve warm with dipping sauces like ranch dressing or spicy mayo.
