    2️⃣ Make the Filling:
    • In a bowl, mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, and black pepper.
    • Spoon or pipe the filling into the hollowed-out pickles.
    3️⃣ Bread the Pickles:
    • Place flour in one bowl, beaten egg in another, and mix panko, Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a third.
    • Dip each stuffed pickle into flour, then egg, then panko mixture, pressing gently to coat.
    4️⃣ Air Fry the Stuffed Pickles:
    • Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
    • Arrange pickles in a single layer and spray lightly with cooking spray.
    • Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
