→ Onion Dip
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 2 large yellow onions, finely diced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
07 - 1 teaspoon sugar
08 - 1 cup sour cream
09 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
10 - 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
11 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
13 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
14 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
→ For Serving
15 - Reserved bread cubes from the loaf
16 - Fresh vegetables such as carrot sticks, celery, and cucumber slices, optional
17 - Crackers, optional
# How To:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F.
02 - Slice the top off the sourdough loaf and carefully hollow out the center, leaving a 1-inch thick shell. Cut the removed bread into bite-sized cubes for dipping.
03 - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onions, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are deeply golden and caramelized, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
04 - In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese, chives, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika if using. Stir until smooth and well combined.
05 - Fold in the caramelized onions and garlic into the dip mixture. Adjust seasoning to taste.
06 - Spoon the onion dip into the hollowed bread bowl. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until warmed through.
07 - Garnish the bread bowl with extra chives. Serve immediately with bread cubes, vegetables, and crackers for dipping.
