Instructions

- In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the chopped onions until they turn caramelized and golden brown. This process will take around 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fold in the caramelized onions into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
- Allow the baked onion dip to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite chips or crackers. Enjoy!
Tips
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the onion while sautéing.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
- You can also serve this dip with fresh vegetables, like carrots and celery for a healthier alternative.
