Method
 

Preparation of Filling
  1. Blend all the filling ingredients until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate covered for 1 hour to chill.
Toast Breadcrumbs
  1. In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add panko breadcrumbs and sauté until golden brown, about 3–5 minutes.

  2. Arrange the pickle chips on a platter. Pipe the creamy filling onto each chip and sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs and a dash of Korean chili flakes.

Notes

Serve chilled on a cool ceramic platter for the best presentation. These should be served immediately after assembly for optimal texture. Keep toppings off until ready to serve to maintain crispness.
