Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400° and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut ends off of your pickles and scoop out the centers with a small spoon. Slide string cheese into pickle. If string cheese is sticking out, trim so that it is flush with the pickle.
Into a small shallow bowl, combine flour with garlic powder and paprika and season with salt and pepper.
Place eggs and Panko in separate shallow bowls. Dredge pickles first in flour, then eggs, then Panko.
Place onto baking sheet and bake 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Garnish with dill and serve with ranch if desired.
