Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onions.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized (about 20-25 minutes). Reduce the heat if they begin to brown too quickly.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the caramelized onions during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Stir to combine and cook until fragrant.
Transfer the onion mixture to a cutting board and let cool for 5 minutes, then finely chop the onions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped onions and garlic mixture until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
Serve immediately with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld even more.
