Description

A quick recipe for classic, savory French onion dip using caramelized onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, salt, and pepper. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 35 minutes until the onions are deep golden brown and soft. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder to the cream cheese. Mix until just combined.
  4. Fold the cooled caramelized onions into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Cover the dip and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

Notes

  • For a stronger onion flavor, use sweet onions like Vidalia.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a slightly tangier, lower-fat version.
