Ingredients
Scale
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped dill pickles, drained well
1/4 cup pickle juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie plate or a small oven-safe dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, chopped pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth.
Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
Top the dip evenly with the mozzarella cheese and then sprinkle the Everything Bagel Seasoning over the top layer.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese topping is melted and lightly golden brown.
Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
Drain the chopped pickles very thoroughly to prevent the dip from becoming watery. Press them between paper towels if needed.
You can prepare the dip mixture up to 24 hours ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate, then add the topping cheeses just before baking.
For a spicier dip, add a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.
