Instructions

Caramelize the Onions:
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Add the chopped onions, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown—about 20 minutes.

Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mix the Base:
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.

Add Flavor and Onions:
Stir in half the grated cheese, caramelized onions, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Adjust salt to taste.

Bake:
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

Serve:
Serve warm with chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes

Make ahead: You can prep the dip up to 1 day in advance. Store in the fridge and bake when ready to serve.

For a stronger onion flavor, use Gruyère instead of Swiss.

Serve with toasted baguette slices, pretzels, or gluten-free crackers.

For extra richness, add a sprinkle of Parmesan before baking.
