Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine cheddar cheese and cream cheese until smooth.

Add flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to the cheese mixture; mix well.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.

Gradually add the egg mixture to the cheese mixture, stirring until combined.

Form the mixture into small balls or puffs and roll them in bread crumbs for coating.

Place the cheesy bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Alternatively, heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the cheesy bites in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm, garnished with parsley.
