Description
A rich and creamy caramelized onion cheese dip that’s perfect for gatherings and comforting family meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions (sweet onions like Vidalia work well)
- 2 tablespoons butter (substitute with olive oil for a healthier option)
- 8 oz cream cheese (can use low-fat cream cheese)
- 1 cup sour cream (Greek yogurt is a great substitute)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (a mix of Swiss and cheddar works well)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and soft.
- Blend the cream cheese and sour cream in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- Stir in the caramelized onions once they’ve cooled slightly. Add shredded cheese, salt, and pepper to the mixture, blending until everything is well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly. Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the top is slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for a minute before serving with crispy chips, toasted bread, or fresh veggies.
