Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crisp)

Other

  • Nonstick spray or parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it generously with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, finely chopped dill pickles, garlic powder, and breadcrumbs if using. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  3. Form bites: Shape the mixture into small balls or bite-sized portions using your hands or a spoon. Place each formed bite onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese bites are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cheese bites to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth and to help them firm up.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
  • Using breadcrumbs is optional but helps achieve a crispier texture.
  • Make sure to finely chop the pickles to ensure even distribution without excess moisture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
