Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 large Yellow onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet, then stir in the kosher salt and granulated sugar to help with caramelization.
Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes. Lower the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or whisk.
Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Chop the cooled caramelized onions into smaller pieces if desired, then fold them into the creamy mixture.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Onion Parmesan Dip chilled or at room temperature with your choice of crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables.
