Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with nonstick spray.
Combine the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese with the dill pickles, garlic powder, and breadcrumbs in a mixing bowl. Stir until well incorporated.
Roll small amounts of the mixture into balls, placing them on the baking sheet with space between each.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. For extra crunch, bake an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
