A rich, savory dip featuring caramelized onions and creamy Gruyere cheese, perfect for parties or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (60g) mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice 2-3 large yellow onions thinly. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once melted, add the onions, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  2. Cook the onions for 25-30 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until they’re golden brown and caramelized. If they start sticking, lower the heat and add a splash of water to deglaze the pan. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup (120g) of sour cream, 1/4 cup (60g) of mayonnaise, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Whisk together until smooth.
  5. Fold in 1 cup (100g) of shredded Gruyere cheese and mix well.
  6. Stir the cooled caramelized onions into the creamy mixture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves if desired.
  7. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Pair with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies.
