Categories appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 cups shredded Cheddar
1 cup shredded Gouda
1 cup shredded Havarti cheese
2 tablespoons whole milk
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Multi-grain crackers, such as Crunchmaster, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat the butter in a small cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Top the onion mixture with the cheeses. Add the milk and stir everything to combine.
Place the skillet inside a roasting pan or baking dish and fill the pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the skillet. Transfer to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and gooey, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately with crackers.

Tips:

For a creamier dip, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream.
Add a cup of cooked and crumbled bacon for a smoky flavor.
If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
For a tangy twist, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
To make the dip ahead of time, prepare it up to 2 days in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. Bring it to room temperature before baking.
