Fried Dill Pickle Dip
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Softened cream cheese | 8 oz |
| Sour cream | 1/2 cup |
| Finely chopped dill pickles | 1 cup |
| Pickle juice | 2 tbsp |
| Garlic powder | 1/2 tsp |
| Onion powder | 1/2 tsp |
| Dried dill | 1/2 tsp |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Bread crumbs | 1/4 cup |
| Melted butter | 2 tbsp |
Step-by-Step Directions:
Prepare the dip mixture:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill until smooth and creamy.
Add the cheese:
Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the pickle mixture until evenly combined. Spread the dip into a small baking dish and smooth the top.
Create the crunchy topping:
In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumb mixture over the surface of the dip.
Bake until bubbly:
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through, bubbling around the edges, and the topping is lightly golden.
Serve warm:
Let the dip cool slightly, then serve hot with potato chips, pretzels, pita chips, or your favorite crunchy dippers.
