Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon chives sliced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Peel and thinly slice the onions. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the onions and stir occasionally. When they start to brown after 5 to 10 minutes, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 15 minutes until soft and caramelized.
- While the onions are cooking, add the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise to a food processor. Season with salt and pepper, then blend until smooth and creamy.
- Let the caramelized onions cool for about 5 minutes, then add them to the dip in the processor. Pulse a few times to mix them in without pureeing so the texture stays intact.
- Serve right away or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
Notes
- Use fresh sour cream, cream cheese, and mayo for the best flavor and texture.
- Add a pinch of garlic powder or a splash of Worcestershire sauce for more depth, or top with caramelized onions for extra richness.
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes so it mixes in easily.
- Chill the dip for at least an hour before serving, or overnight for even better flavor. Use an ice-chilled dip bowl to keep it fresh longer.
- Taste before serving and adjust the salt and pepper to make the flavors pop.
