Ingredients

  • Yellow Onions: 3 large, thinly sliced
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Balsamic Vinegar: 1 teaspoon
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, finely minced
  • Sour Cream: 1 cup
  • Cream Cheese: ½ cup, softened
  • Mayonnaise: ¼ cup
  • Chives: 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon or to taste
  • Black Pepper: ¼ teaspoon, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Set a heavy skillet over medium-low heat and let it warm thoroughly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add butter and olive oil to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Continue to cook the onions slowly, stirring frequently for 30 to 40 minutes until deep golden brown. Add garlic in the last 5 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar, scraping up all the brown bits. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  5. Cook to Perfection: In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Fold in the cooled onion mixture.
  6. Finishing Touches: Season with salt and black pepper. Stir in chopped chives.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Let the dip chill for at least 1 hour for flavors to meld. Serve with chips, crudités, or toasted baguette slices.

Notes

  • Caramelize onions slowly for maximum sweetness and depth.
  • Chilling the dip allows the flavors to blend more deeply.
  • For extra zing, add a dash of Dijon mustard or lemon zest.
  • Can be made ahead and stored for up to 4 days in the fridge.
