Fold the chopped Vidalia onions into the cheese mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 8-inch baking dish or shallow oven-safe dish.
Smooth the top of the dip with a spatula to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with a golden-brown top.
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
