Description
A rich, savory dip featuring slow-cooked caramelized onions and melted Gruyere cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or beef broth
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes until deeply browned and sweet.
- Stir in pepper and flour. Cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in wine or broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until liquid evaporates. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded Gruyere, softened cream cheese, and sour cream. Mix well.
- Fold the caramelized onion mixture into the cheese mixture until just combined.
- Transfer the dip to a small oven-safe baking dish.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
- Serve warm with bread or crackers.
Notes
- For best flavor, cook the onions low and slow; do not rush the caramelization process.
- You can prepare the onion mixture up to two days ahead and store it in the refrigerator.
