Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Vidalia onions (chopped)
¼ cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
½ cup sour cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups grated Gruyère cheese (divided)
chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
1 baguette loaf
olive oil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and toss them in the butter. Cut a piece of parchment paper the same size of the inside of the skillet. Place the parchment paper on top of the onions as they cook. Cook over low heat for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to pick up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Pre-heat oven to 375ºF.
  • When the onions have softened and browned, add the sherry, Worcestershire sauce and thyme leaves, tossing well to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and simmer for a few more minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. In a large bowl combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and ½ cup of the Gruyère cheese. Fold the caramelized onions into the mixture. Spread the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with the remaining Gruyère cheese and bake in the 375ºF oven for 15 minutes.
  • Switch the oven setting to broil and leave the casserole under the broiler for 2 to 5 minutes, until the top has browned and is bubbly.
  • Garnish with the chopped chives and serve the hot dip with crostini.

Creamy Warm French Onion Dip made with caramelized onions, beef consomme, cream cheese and Swiss cheese!

Provided by Kelley Simmons

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 medium sweet onions (cut in half and sliced thin)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tablespoon white wine
5 ounces beef consume
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
3 tablespoons cream cheese
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (grated)
1 tablespoon Swiss cheese (grated)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon Swiss cheese (grated)
1/2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (grated)
1 teaspoon fresh parsley (chopped)
1 garlic clove (whole)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
pinch of salt
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (grated)
8 thin slices of whole wheat baguette

Steps:

  • Add oil to a large saute pan and add in onions.
  • Over medium-high heat cook onions in a single layer for 30 minutes. Try not to stir the onions too much. You can turn the heat down to medium if they seem like they are burning.
  • Add garlic and cook for a minute.
  • Add in white wine and deglaze the pan, 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in beef consume and bring to a simmer.
  • Add in mayo, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, Swiss cheese and pepper. Stir to combine making sure cream cheese has fully melted.
  • Take off the heat and pour mixture into a cast iron skillet or leave in the same skillet if it is oven safe. Top with Parmesan and Swiss cheese.
  • Place under the broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbly about 2 minutes.
  • Add parsley for garnish and serve immediately alongside the Garlic Cheese Crostini.
  • Add garlic, olive oil and salt to a mortar and pestle or a bowl. Crush the garlic in the oil (you can use a muddler if you do not have a mortar and pestle). This breaks up the garlic and infuses the flavor into the oil.
  • Stir in dried oregano.
  • Spoon the oil onto each slice of bread.
  • Top with parmesan cheese.
  • Place in the oven under the broiler and bake for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Keep a very close eye on them they burn easily.
