Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 stalks scallions (green onions)
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions, granulated sugar, and salt to the skillet.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until they are deeply caramelized and golden-brown. Reduce heat if needed to prevent burning.
While the onions cook, finely chop the scallions and chives. Set aside.
Once the onions are done, transfer them to a cutting board to cool slightly, then finely chop them.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until smooth.
Add the chopped caramelized onions, scallions, and chives to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
Season the spread with freshly ground black pepper, and more salt to taste if needed.
Chill the spread in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
