Caramelized Onion Spinach Dip image

I was inspired by my family's classic spinach dip for this recipe. I added slowly caramelized onions for a hint of sweetness and depth of flavor. This dip is delicious with veggies or even potato chips.

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Stir in the onions and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
