Notes
- Be careful while toasting the panko breadcrumbs as they can burn quickly. Keep the heat medium, and keep stirring continuously.
- Chop the pickles finely, otherwise you'll get mouthfuls of big chunky pieces!
- You can use plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
- Add hot sauce or chili powder if you like a spicier fried pickle dip.
- Top the pickle dip with toasted panko just before serving to ensure they stay crunchy and crispy.
- Cream cheese and sour cream should be at room temperature so it's easier to mix them and get a smooth texture.
