Description
A playful, crunchy snack that pairs tangy dill pickles with gooey melted cheese, perfect for game nights or casual get-togethers.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup finely chopped dill pickles
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cheddar, mozzarella, dill pickles, and garlic powder. Mix until cohesive.
- Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into small discs or nuggets about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
- For optional crunch, roll each nugget in breadcrumbs.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment and arrange bites, baking for 10–15 minutes.
- For air frying, preheat to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 8–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
Notes
For a crunchier texture, use panko breadcrumbs. Adjust cheese types for desired flavor and meltability.
