A rich and creamy caramelized onion dip made with slow-cooked onions, cream cheese, and sour cream, perfect for any gathering or indulgent snack.

Ingredients

3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced

2 tbsp salted butter

2 tsp salt

2 tsp sugar

60 ml white grape juice or vegetable broth

340 g sour cream

225 g cream cheese, softened

1 clove garlic, grated (optional)

Fresh parsley, minced (to taste)

Few dashes Worcestershire or soy sauce (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions, salt, and sugar. Cook the onions on low heat, stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes, until they become jammy and golden brown.
  2. Once the onions are caramelized, add the white grape juice or vegetable broth in small splashes. Let it reduce completely, allowing the onions to absorb the rich flavors.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add the caramelized onions, grated garlic (if using), Worcestershire or soy sauce, and minced parsley to the cream cheese mixture. Stir everything together, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve the dip warm or cold with your choice of chips, toasted bread, or even pretzels. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dip may thicken as it cools, so feel free to stir in a little extra sour cream or a splash of milk to loosen it up.

Reheating: Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat if you prefer the dip warm.

Variation: Add a splash of lemon juice to balance the richness if desired.

Variation: Add a spicy kick with hot sauce or red pepper flakes for extra heat.

Make Ahead: This dip can be made ahead of time and will taste even better the next day.
