Fried Pickle Dip is a creamy, tangy appetizer that captures the flavor of classic fried pickles—without the mess of frying. Made with chopped dill pickles, a rich cream cheese base, and topped with buttery toasted breadcrumbs, it’s perfect for parties, snacking, or game day spreads.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1–2 tbsp pickle juice (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp fresh dill or 1/2 tsp dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Topping (optional):
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Extra chopped pickles or dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  2. Stir in chopped pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, Worcestershire sauce (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
  4. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and toast panko breadcrumbs until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs over the chilled dip and garnish with extra chopped pickles or fresh dill.
  6. Serve cold with chips, crackers, or veggies.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter, high-protein dip.
  • Add chopped pickled jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy version.
  • Chop pickles to your preferred size—finely for smoothness or chunky for crunch.
  • Only add topping before serving to keep it crispy.
  • Store leftovers (without topping) in the fridge for up to 3 days.
