1️⃣ Prep the Pickles
Slice pickle spears into bite-size chunks
Pat them completely dry (important for crunch)
2️⃣ Make the Cheese Filling
In a bowl, mix:
Cream cheese
Mozzarella
Cheddar
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Paprika
Black pepper
Mix until smooth and thick.
3️⃣ Wrap the Pickles
Scoop cheese mixture and wrap around each pickle piece
Roll into a tight ball
Freeze 10–15 minutes (helps keep shape while frying)
4️⃣ Breading Station
Bowl 1: Flour
Bowl 2: Beaten eggs
Bowl 3: Breadcrumbs
Roll each bomb: Flour → Egg → Breadcrumbs
(For EXTRA crunch, repeat egg + breadcrumbs)
5️⃣ Fry to Perfection
