Melt-in-your-mouth onions caramelized to a deep amber hue, folded into a creamy base. The texture is smooth and coating, with the striking aroma of brown butter mixed with the onions' natural sugars.

Instructions

0/4
  1. Slice the onions

    Peel and thinly slice the onions. The slices should be uniform to ensure even cooking in the pan.

    10 min
  2. Caramelize slowly

    Melt the butter. Add the onions with a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat, stirring often. The onions should reduce and turn a deep tobacco color, almost like a jam. If they stick, deglaze with a splash of water.

    30 min
  3. Prepare the creamy base

    In a mixing bowl, smooth the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

    5 min
  4. Assemble and season

    Fold the cooled onions into the cream mixture. Add the Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. The preparation should be thick and hold on a chip or a piece of bread without dripping.

    5 min

Chef's tips

  • Patience is key: don't rush the onions, they must candy without burning.
  • Let the dip rest for at least 2 hours in the fridge so the flavors can meld.

Storage

Can be kept for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
