• 1 cup chopped dill pickles
• 2 tablespoons pickle juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Old Home Chive & Onion Sour Cream Chip Dip & Topper to a large bowl. Using a handheld mixer, beat until smooth.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and use a rubber spatula to mix until combined. Transfer to a small baking dish about 8×8 inches and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly. If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
5. Meanwhile, toast the breadcrumbs. Add the butter to a small skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the breadcrumbs. Fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Garnish the dip with the toasted breadcrumbs, chopped pickles, dill and chives
