#### 5. **Secure with Toothpicks**
Use a **toothpick** or **skewer** to secure the wrapped pickles. This step will hold everything together while you cook or chill them. If you’re serving them as appetizers, the toothpicks also act as a great handle for easy eating.
#### 6. **Coat the Pickle Bombs (Optional)**
For a crunchy, golden exterior, you can coat the pickle bombs. Start by dredging each stuffed and wrapped pickle first in **flour**, then dip it into the **beaten egg**, and finally coat it in **panko breadcrumbs**. This step is optional, but it really adds a nice crispy crunch to the outside of your pickle bombs.
#### 7. **Cook the Pickle Bombs**
Now it’s time to cook! You can either **fry**, **bake**, or **air fry** your pickle bombs:
– **To Fry**: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the pickle bombs for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden and crispy.
– **To Bake**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the pickle bombs for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
– **To Air Fry**: If you’re looking for a healthier option, place the pickle bombs in an air fryer basket and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
#### 8. **Serve and Enjoy!**
Once the pickle bombs are golden and crispy, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly. Garnish with **fresh dill** for an extra pop of flavor and color. Serve them with a dipping sauce like **ranch, spicy mustard**, or **sriracha mayo** for an added kick.
