For the Cheese Mixture

  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Contributes creaminess and gooey texture; can be replaced with provolone or Gouda if desired.
For the Add-Ins
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped dill pickles Adds tanginess and crunch; substitute with bread-and-butter pickles or pickled jalapeños for variety.
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances flavor depth; consider swapping with onion powder for a different savory note.
For Extra Crispiness
  • 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs (optional) Adds extra crispiness; use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free alternative.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Pickle Cheese Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with nonstick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, finely chopped dill pickles, and garlic powder. If you choose to include breadcrumbs for added crispiness, add them here.
  3. With your hands, scoop out small portions of the cheese mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, placing each on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  5. Allow the bites to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving them warm.
