Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup caramelized onions, chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Use a hand mixer to beat the ingredients together until smooth. Start at a slow speed and increase to high for about 1-2 minutes to achieve a creamy texture.
- Gently fold in the caramelized onions until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Transfer the dip to an airtight container or a bowl covered with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken slightly.
- Serve chilled with potato chips, crudités, or crackers. Garnish with chopped chives and extra caramelized onions if desired.
Notes
- Use high-quality ingredients: The flavors in this dip are simple, so the quality of your ingredients really shines through. Opt for good-quality cream cheese and mayonnaise for the best results.
- Caramelize your onions slowly: The key to rich, flavorful onions is to cook them low and slow. Don’t rush the process!
- Chill before serving: Letting the dip sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving allows the flavors to meld and intensify.
