Onion Soup Mix Pretzels image

I'm not exactly sure where I got this one from-it may have been a variation on the "Chex Mix" party mix. It's fast, easy to prepare & is a great snack for playing cards (good beer food!). Not for those watching sodium content.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h5m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup butter, melted (I use unsalted)
1/4 cup onion soup mix (this should be equal to one envelope commercially prepared soup mix)
2 -4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
16 ounces plain pretzel nuggets (low salt version is great if you can find it, I've also used broken sourdough pretzel pieces)

Steps:

  • Spread pretzels out in an even layer in 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Melt butter.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce to taste (we like it dark so I tend to be heavy on it).
  • Add dry soup mix.
  • Stir until well blended.
  • Drizzle over pretzels; toss to coat all pieces.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes in 250°F; toss every 15 minutes to make sure pieces toast thoroughly. Pretzels should be dark brown but not burnt.

Categories     Appetizers

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 medium white onions, thinly sliced
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
½ cup dry white wine, such as chardonnay
2 blocks cream cheese, room temperature (8 ounces - 225 G)
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for serving
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
1 ½ cups sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh chives, for garnish, thinly sliced
potato chip, and pretzels, for serving
2 blocks cream cheese, room temperature (8 ounce - 225 G)
1 tablespoon fresh chives, thinly sliced
6 cups neutral oil, such as canola, for frying
12 square wonton wrappers
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Make the French onion dip: Add the onions to a large sauté pan over low heat and season with salt, pepper, and the garlic powder. Slowly cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 45 minutes. Carefully pour in the white wine and let evaporate to cook out the alcohol, 2-3 minutes. Transfer half of the cooked onions to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream cheese until fully incorporated. Add the Parmesan, mayonnaise, and sour cream and stir to combine. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with the chives. Serve the warm or at room temperature. (If served cold, the dip will be slightly thicker.)
  • Make the wontons: To the bowl with the reserved caramelized onions, add the cream cheese and stir with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated. Add the chives and stir to combine. Transfer to the refrigerator to set while you heat the oil.
  • Add the oil to a heavy bottomed pot and heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Fill each wonton wrapper with 1 teaspoon of the chilled onion dip. Brush the edges of the wrappers with the beaten egg. then bring the opposite corners up and over the filling to meet in the center to create an X shape. Pinch the edges together to seal well.
  • Working in batches, fry the wontons in the hot oil until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Transfer the wontons to a platter and serve immediately with the French onion dip and chips or pretzels for dipping.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Using a kitchen scale to accurately measure your ingredients is highly recommended for baking.
  • To ensure the pretzels are evenly cooked, make sure to flip them halfway through the baking process.
  • If you don't have a baking stone, you can preheat a large baking sheet instead.
  • For a more golden brown crust, brush the pretzels with melted butter before baking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or grated Parmesan cheese, before baking.
  • For a chewier pretzel, let the dough rise for a longer period of time.
  • To store the pretzels, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
