This Caramelized Onion Dip is a creamy and sweet appetizer that will impress your guests!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Begin by slicing the yellow onions thinly, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.
- Heat the unsalted butter and olive oil in your skillet over medium heat until the butter is fully melted. Add the sliced onions along with a sprinkle of salt. Stir well to coat the onions with the buttery mixture.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the onions cook for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the onions are beautifully caramelized, stir in the minced garlic and black pepper during the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually blend in the sour cream and mayonnaise.
- Now, fold in the cooled caramelized onion mixture into the creamy base until well mixed. Lastly, gently stir in the chopped chives.
