Toasted Onion Dip Recipes

PAN-FRIED ONION DIP

Steps:

• Cut the onions in half and then slice them into 1/8-inch thick half-rounds. (You will have about 3 cups of onions.) Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, cayenne, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 more minutes until the onions are browned and caramelized. Allow the onions to cool.
• Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the onions and mix well. Taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.

MISS BROWN'S 5 ONION DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions, red onion, Vidalia onion, white onion and brown sugar and saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar and Worcestershire and continue cooking until the onions are very soft and a caramel color, another 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese until it is melted into the onions. Remove the mixture to a large bowl, then stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise and chives. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish and top with the Parmesan. Bake until golden and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with crostini or crudites.

ROASTED ONION DIP

Steps:

• Toss 1 roughly chopped red onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a foil-lined baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast at 400˚, stirring occasionally, until golden, 25 to 35 minutes. Set aside to cool. Beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons each mayonnaise and sliced chives and the roasted onions. Beat until combined. Scrape into a serving bowl.

ONION DIP FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• In a saute pan over medium heat add oil, heat and add onions and salt. Cook the onions until they are caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Mix the rest of the ingredients, and then add the cooled onions. Refrigerate and stir again before serving.

SOUR CREAM AND ROASTED RED ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet, leaving room between each. (Use 2 baking sheets if the onions won't all fit comfortably on 1.) Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and the sugar and gently flip to coat, keeping the rings as intact as possible. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning once, until soft and browning (It's O.K. if some parts get crisp and charred).
• Let the onions cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop. (You want to have small pieces of onion without making a paste.)
• Transfer the onions to a medium bowl and add the sour cream, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, lemon juice and black pepper. Fold to combine.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with minced chives. Serve with potato chips.

• In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, chives and the roasted onions. Beat until light and fluffy and well-combined. Scrape the mixture into a serving bowl using a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chives over the top and serve.
