Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onions into half-moon shapes.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Add the sliced onions, garlic, sugar, and salt to the skillet. Stir to coat the onions evenly with butter.
Cook the onions slowly over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25–30 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown. Be careful not to burn them.
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the onions to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the caramelized onions, Gruyère cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and thyme leaves.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (about 8 inches or similar size). Spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the dip to cool for 5 minutes.
Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
