Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Other Ingredients

  • ¼ cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crisp)
  • Nonstick spray or parchment paper (for baking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, finely chopped dill pickles, garlic powder, and optionally the breadcrumbs. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. Form Bites: Shape the mixture into small balls or bite-sized portions using your hands or a small scoop, then place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese bites turn golden brown and have a crispy exterior.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cheese bites from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving to ensure they firm up slightly and are safe to eat.

Notes

  • You can omit the breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option, but the texture will be less crispy.
  • Use paper towels to squeeze out excess moisture from pickles before chopping to avoid soggy bites.
  • These bites can be reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the cheese mixture.
