Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large yellow onions
- 8 oz cream cheese (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup sour cream (or low-fat sour cream)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh herbs (optional, thyme or parsley)
Instructions
- Prepare the onions: Slice your onions thinly, aiming for uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Sauté the onions: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and the sliced onions. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and caramelized.

- Chill and serve: For best flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Cheesy Twist: Add shredded cheese like cheddar or gouda for extra richness. Spicy Kick: Incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes for added heat. Make it a Meal: Serve with toasted baguette slices or use it as a sandwich spread.
