HOW TO MAKE FRENCH ONION DIP

What you will need – 

• Caramelize the onions: 

• In a hot skillet, melt the butter with olive oil. 

• Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, golden brown, and caramelized, about 20 to 30 minutes.

• Towards the end of cooking, turn off the heat and add the honey, stirring well to incorporate it evenly into the caramelized onions. Adjust the amount of honey according to your desired sweetness.

• Prepare the dip: 

• In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, caramelized onions (including any juices left in the skillet), and a tablespoon of chopped chives. 

• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well to combine all the ingredients. 

• Taste and adjust the flavors as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to your liking.

• Garnish the dip with additional chopped chives just before serving.

• Serve the dip with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetables.

NOTES: 

Ingredient Quality: 

Opt for fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh sour cream, cream cheese, and onions will enhance the overall taste of the dip. 

Choose natural honey for sweetness, as it adds depth of flavor compared to processed varieties. 

HOW TO STORE FRENCH ONION DIP?

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Consume the dip within 3-4 days for optimal freshness and flavor.

Before serving leftover dip, give it a quick stir to redistribute any separated ingredients and ensure even flavor. 

Resting to Intensify Flavors: 

○ After preparing the dip, let it rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. 

○ During this time, the flavors will mingle and intensify, creating a more complex and satisfying flavor profile. 

○ Resting also allows the ingredients to settle, enhancing the texture and cohesion of the dip.
