Creamy caramelized onion dip
This recipe is warm and gooey enough to say goodbye to your old onion dip. One recipe is great for a couple on a movie night, but you’ll want to double or triple when you’re entertaining a crowd.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Brie cheese, skin removed
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup milk or cream
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ cup caramelized onions
- 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced
- ⅓ cup Gruyére cheese, grated
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed chilies
- Salt and pepper
- Chilli oil (garnish)
- Lemon zest and juice (garnish)
- Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives (garnish)
Instructions
- In a small pan over medium-low heat, add a spoonful of oil and the garlic, and cook until the garlic lightly browns. Add in the milk, Brie and cream cheese and cook slowly until the cheese is melted. Remove the pan from the heat and add the caramelized onions, chilies, green onions and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Add the grated Gruyère over the top of the cheese mixture and place under the broiler until it starts to bubble and darken, roughly 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from the broiler and let sit for a few minutes. Garnish with chili oil, fresh lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of fresh herbs. Serve with crackers, crostini, fresh baguette or sliced apples and pears.
