1 cup dill pickle slices, drained Ensure they are well-drained.
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite) Choose your preferred type of cheese.
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works well) Panko breadcrumbs give extra crunch.
½ cup all-purpose flour For breading the pickle bites.
2 large eggs Whisked for the coating.
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
to taste Salt and black pepper
as needed Oil for frying (vegetable or canola) For frying the bites.

Start by thoroughly draining the pickle slices. Lay them on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine the shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture onto each pickle slice, then top with another pickle slice to create a little cheese sandwich. Press down gently to seal.
Set up a dredging station: Put the flour in one shallow dish, whisk the eggs in a second dish, and place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
Take each pickle sandwich, first coat it in the flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully covered.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded pickle sandwiches in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
