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.
- 1
Peel and thinly slice the onions. The slices should be uniform to ensure even cooking in the pan.
- 2
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.

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

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.
