  4. In another bowl, whisk the egg.
  5. Dip each pickle slice in egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

Notes

Make sure to dry the pickles well before coating them to ensure the breading sticks. You can experiment with different spices in the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor. For an extra crunch, double dip the pickles in egg and breadcrumbs. Leftover pickles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
