Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 1 cup pickles, finely chopped (firm dill recommended)
  • 1 cup plant-based cream cheese (plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise (plant-based)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup smoked turkey slices, diced

Topping

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Finely chop the pickles and smoked turkey slices. In a bowl, blend the plant-based cream cheese, plant-based mayonnaise, garlic powder (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and onions until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped pickles and smoked turkey slices to combine without overmixing.
  2. Assemble the Topping: Heat olive oil (natural) in a small pan over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and stir frequently until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Layer and Bake: Transfer the creamy dip base into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the toasted panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes until the topping is crisp and golden.
  4. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let the dip rest for a few minutes to allow flavors to settle. Serve warm for the best melty, crunchy texture experience.

Notes

  • Choose crunchy pickles to maintain texture and prevent sogginess.
  • Toast panko breadcrumbs carefully to avoid burning and get the perfect crunch.
  • Fold in pickles and smoked turkey slices gently to preserve texture.
  • Use high-quality plant-based cream cheese for enhanced creaminess and flavor.
  • Prepare chopped ingredients and toasted panko ahead of time for easier assembly.
  • Serving the dip warm maximizes its flavor and texture contrast.
