Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Dill Pickles
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- Breadcrumbs (optional)
- Nonstick Spray or Parchment Paper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, finely chopped dill pickles, and garlic powder. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Scoop out small portions of the cheese mixture and form them into bite-sized balls, roughly the size of a tablespoon, and place them on the baking sheet.
- If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs over each formed bite and gently press them onto the surface for added crunch.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and crispy exterior, then remove from the oven to serve.
Notes
- Enhance flavor with fresh garlic, but reduce the amount to prevent overpowering.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
- Ensure bites are evenly spaced on the baking sheet for optimal cooking.
