Description

Crispy Pickle Cheese Bites are a deliciously savory snack that combines shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses with tangy chopped dill pickles and a hint of garlic powder. Baked until golden and crispy, they make the perfect bite-sized appetizer or party treat with a delightful crunch and burst of flavor.

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)

For Baking

  • 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 with nonstick spray to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, finely chopped dill pickles, garlic powder, and breadcrumbs if you choose to use them. Mix thoroughly so all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Form Cheese Bites: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls or bite-sized portions and arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese bites turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cheese bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes to set and avoid burning your mouth. Serve warm as a tasty snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, breadcrumbs are recommended but optional.
  • Make sure to finely chop the pickles to ensure even distribution in the bites.
  • Serve these cheese bites warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best results.
