In another bowl, whisk together eggs and add pickle juice for extra flavor.

In a third bowl, mix panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Dip each pickle into the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.

Next, dip the floured pickles into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off.

Finally, coat the pickles in the panko crumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
