Caramelized Onion Dip
A creamy and savory dip made with caramelized onions, perfect for sharing at gatherings and pairs beautifully with chips or fresh veggies.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large onions (sliced thinly; yellow onions work best for sweetness)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced; fresh garlic adds depth)
- 1 cup sour cream (you can swap Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened, for that creamy texture)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (adds a savory kick)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or thyme for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once heated, add the sliced onions. Cook them slowly, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep golden brown (about 15-20 minutes).
- Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring continuously.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well blended.
- Fold the caramelized onions and garlic mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve it warm for a gooey texture, or chill it for a refreshing take.
Notes
For a healthier version, substitute cream cheese with low-fat cream cheese or use Greek yogurt. Experiment with seasonal herbs or add crumbled bacon for a smoky flavor. This dip can be paired with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or breadsticks.
