Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Allow about 5 minutes for this step.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, finely chopped dill pickles, and garlic powder. Stir until evenly incorporated.
  3. Using a tablespoon, scoop out the mixture and form it into mounds roughly the size of a golf ball. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray or air fryer basket.
