Creating Pickle Popper Bites is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your fryer.
2. Prepare Pickles: Drain the pickles and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Make Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Stuff Pickles: Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each pickle with the cheese mixture. Make sure to pack it in well.
5. Set Up Breading Station: Create a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
6. Bread the Pickles: Dip each stuffed pickle first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Make sure each pickle is evenly coated.
7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded pickles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray them with cooking spray or drizzle with oil.
8. Bake or Fry: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. If frying, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
9. Cool Slightly: Once cooked, remove the pickles and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
