Instructions
1. Prep the pickles:
Slice each pickle in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a small spoon to make a little “boat.”
2. Make the filling:
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar, and bacon bits until smooth and creamy.
3. Stuff the pickles:
Spoon or pipe the mixture into each pickle half, filling evenly.
4. Coat the pickles:
Dredge each stuffed pickle in flour, dip into the beaten egg, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
(For extra crunch, you can double coat — egg → breadcrumbs again.)
5. Air fry:
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
Arrange the stuffed pickles in a single layer in the basket.
Spray lightly with cooking spray and air fry for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
6. Serve:
Let them cool slightly, then serve warm with ranch dressing or spicy mayo for dipping!
