  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Cheeses

  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (preferably white cheddar)
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese

Dairy & Condiments

  • 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
  • 1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing (such as Hidden Valley)

Pickles & Herbs

  • 1 cup (160 grams) finely chopped kosher dill pickles, divided
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, plus more for topping
  • 2 tablespoons pickle brine

Other Ingredients

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can white beans
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Combine cheeses: Toss the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses together and set aside for later use.
  2. Mix creamy base: In a large bowl, use a fork to mash and mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and ranch dressing until well blended but not necessarily smooth.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in 3/4 cup of the chopped pickles, the drained white beans, half of the cheese blend, fresh dill, and pickle brine. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and evenly distributed.
  4. Assemble in baking dish: Transfer the dip mixture into a 7×10 inch baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the remaining half of the shredded cheese on top, followed by the rest of the chopped pickles.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 21-23 minutes until the dip is bubbly and heated through.
  6. Broil to brown: Switch oven to broil and broil the dip for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to brown the cheese slightly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with more fresh dill for garnish, and serve hot. This dip pairs perfectly with potato chips or pita chips.

Notes

  • Use full fat dairy ingredients for best creamy texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute white beans with cannellini or great northern beans if desired.
  • The pickle brine adds a unique tangy punch—don’t skip it.
  • Broiling time may vary based on your oven; monitor closely to achieve desired browning.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
