Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 medium yellow onions roughly chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup Swiss or Gruyere cheese grated, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Kosher salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add onions and season with salt. Cook, stirring every few minutes, until onions are deep brown in color, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayo until smooth.
  • Add half of the grated cheese, caramelized onions, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Stir until well combined. Season to taste with additional salt if needed.
  • Transfer mixture to a baking dish and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake until golden and bubbly, 20–25 minutes. Serve warm with chips, crackers, or crostini.

Notes

For a stronger flavor, swap in Gruyère cheese and add a dash of hot sauce. This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
