Instructions: 👩🍳
- 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. 🥒🔪
- 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. 🥣🧀
- Stuff ‘Em Up: Generously fill each pickle half with the cheese mixture. Don’t be shy! 🥒🧀
- Breading Station: Set up a classic breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. 🍽️
- Breading Time: Dip each stuffed pickle half in the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. 🥒🥚🍞
- Air Fryer Action: Arrange the breaded pickles in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Give them a light spritz of cooking spray. 💨
- Cook to Perfection: Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. 👀🔥
