Instructions: π©βπ³
- Prep the Pickles: Cut your pickles in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. This creates the perfect boat for your cheesy filling. π₯πͺ
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and your chosen spices. Get creative here! A little garlic powder and paprika go a long way. π₯£π§
- Stuff ‘Em Up: Generously fill each pickle half with the cheese mixture. Don’t be shy! π₯π§
- Breading Station: Set up a classic breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. π½οΈ
- Breading Time: Dip each stuffed pickle half in the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. π₯π₯π
- Air Fryer Action: Arrange the breaded pickles in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Give them a light spritz of cooking spray. π¨
- Cook to Perfection: Air fry at 400Β°F (200Β°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. ππ₯
