This Easy Fried Pickle Dip is a creamy, tangy appetizer featuring a smooth blend of cream cheese, sour cream, pickle juice, and Ranch seasoning, topped with crunchy toasted Panko breadcrumbs for added texture. Perfect for serving with chips, pretzels, or veggies, it offers a delightful combination of flavors and an irresistible crispy topping.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dip

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp pickle juice
  • 1 oz Ranch seasoning mix (1 packet)
  • 1 cup dill pickles, chopped

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Toast Breadcrumbs: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the Panko breadcrumbs and stir continuously until they turn golden brown and are toasted evenly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Mix Dip Ingredients: While the breadcrumbs cool, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, pickle juice, and Ranch seasoning mix in a mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to blend these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Pickles: Fold in the chopped dill pickles gently into the creamy mixture to evenly distribute the pickle pieces without overmixing.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the top to maintain their crunch. Serve the dip alongside chips, pretzels, vegetables, or your choice of dippers.
  5. Storage Tip: If not serving immediately, cover the dip and refrigerate without the toasted breadcrumbs on top to prevent sogginess. Add the breadcrumbs only when ready to serve.

Notes

  • For best texture, add the toasted breadcrumbs just before serving to keep them crispy.
  • Use good quality dill pickles for maximum flavor and crunch.
  • You can substitute the Ranch seasoning mix with your favorite ranch dressing powder or blend your own herbs and spices.
  • To make it spicier, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the dip mixture.
  • Leftover dip can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days, but avoid topping with breadcrumbs until ready to eat.
