Fried Pickle Dip

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup dill pickles finely diced and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
  • fresh dill for garnish

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the panko and smoked paprika, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the crumbs turn the deep gold of a fried pickle chip, then pull off the heat and stir in the parmesan.
  • Beat the cream cheese and sour cream in a bowl until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Fold in the diced pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder and onion powder.
  • Spread the dip into a shallow serving dish, cover, and chill 30 minutes until firm.
  • Scatter the toasted panko over the top just before serving so it stays crunchy, then add the dill garnish.
  • Serve with potato chips or sturdy crackers that can carry the crumb topping.

Good to Know

Toast double the panko and keep the extra in a jar; it turns any plain dip into this one in under a minute.
