Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Drain and pat the pickles dry to remove excess moisture.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until well-blended.
Scoop a small amount of the cheese filling onto each pickle slice, then top with another slice to create a sandwich.
Set up a dredging station with beaten eggs and breadcrumbs. Dip each pickle sandwich in egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in breadcrumbs.
Arrange on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crunchy, flipping halfway.
Allow to cool slightly before serving with a dipping sauce.

For a lighter version, consider air-frying the bites. Substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs for dietary restrictions.
