Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Mix shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese with chopped dill pickles and garlic powder in a large bowl. Optionally, add breadcrumbs and stir well.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out the mixture, form into flattened mounds, and place on the tray.
  4. Bake for 6-8 minutes, until cheese melts and edges turn golden brown.
