Ingredients

  • 8 ounce block cream cheese softened (regular or 1/3 less fat)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce see notes
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoon dill pickle juice
  • 1 cup chopped dill pickles homemade or store bought
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Potato chips pita chips or crackers, for serving

Instructions

  • MIX: Start by whipping the cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer for 30 seconds. Once light and airy, add the greek yogurt, Worcestershire, ranch seasoning, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder with a spatula or with a hand mixer set to low speed. Once smooth, stir in the dill and chopped chives, 1 tbsp pickle juice, and dill pickles. Taste and if the dip is still thick, stir in another tablespoon of dill pickle juice.
  • REST: Allow the dip to rest for a minimum of 1 hour, covered in the refrigerator before serving so that the flavors have a chance to blend. Making it 24 hours in advance is even better, so this is perfect to make ahead!
  • TOPPING: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and toss to coat evenly in the butter. Stir the panko frequently until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Allow the breadcrumbs to cool completely before topping the tip.
  • SERVE: Remove the dip at least 30 m invites before serving. Once the breadcrumbs are cool, top the dip with the crumbs and serve warm with butter crackers, potato chips or pita chips and ENJOY!

Notes

  • Worchestersire sauce: vegetarian friends, you'll need to swap this with a vegearian-friendly version or you can skip this ingredient if you prefer!
  • Pickle juice: I find when I make this with Greek yogurt, I need 1 tbsp of pickle juice, but with sour cream, it's closer to 2 tbsps.
