Description

This Hot Onion Dip is a classic appetizer that’s always a crowd-pleaser. Creamy, cheesy, and loaded with caramelized onions, it’s perfect for dipping your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetables.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups grated Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Swiss cheese, and sliced onions. Stir until well combined.
  3. Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown on top.
  4. Cool and Serve: Let the dip cool for about 10 minutes before serving with your favorite dippers, such as tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes

  • Onions: For a milder onion flavor, you can sauté the onions in a bit of butter before adding them to the dip.
  • Cheese: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyère, fontina, or provolone.
  • Make Ahead: The dip can be assembled ahead of time and baked later. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Serving Suggestions: This dip is also delicious served with crusty bread or as a topping for baked potatoes.
