Caramelized Onion Dip

I’m surprised it’s taken me so long to make this caramelized onion dip recipe. It tastes much better than store-bought and is so easy to make. We were having friends over for dinner, so I decided to make some dip to serve before dinner. The caramelized onions took about 30 minutes to cook and smelled amazing! I used a combination of mayonnaise, cream cheese, and sour cream to create a nice tangy base. I seasoned the dip with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh parsley. This caramelized onion dip was served with ruffled potato chips and enjoyed by all, even my son, who doesn’t like onions.

Caramelized Onion Dip

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 small onions, diced
• Splash of wine, then water as needed
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• ⅓ cup sour cream
• Fresh parsley, chopped, to taste
• Soy sauce, to taste
• Worcestershire sauce, to taste

How to Make Caramelized Onion Dip

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions once the butter has melted; stir often.

Once the skillet is getting dry, add a bit of white wine, stir, then let it sizzle out. Stir the onions often, adding a tablespoon of water to prevent the pan from drying out until onions are caramelized and deeply golden brown, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a bowl.

Add the cooled onions and fresh parsley, then stir to combine. Season with a bit of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, to taste.

Set aside to allow flavors to mingle for 30 minutes.

Serve with thick ruffled chips. Enjoy.
