Served with pita chips, this dip is tasty and satisfying.

more about:

2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1 large Spanish or 2 large yellow onions (about 1 lb. total), finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 oz. cream cheese
6 Tbs. sour cream
1 scant Tbs. fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Pinch cayenne

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with 1/2 tsp. salt, and sauté, stirring often, until the onion softens completely and starts to brown, about 9 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and add the cream cheese, sour cream, thyme, and cayenne. Pulse until the mixture is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

by RubyII, 12/27/2011Served this at Christmas and it got rave reviews. We served it with Triscuit crackers instead of pita chips. This makes a lot of dip, just remember to bring a lot of crackers too (4 boxes).

by SailingSue, 11/22/2011I have made this several times and it is quick to make and has a very nice flavor. I like to make it the day ahead so the flavors can blend.

by zippy297, 7/2/2010This is a great dip recipe. We have an old family recipe that is cream cheese onion and Worcestershire, this makes that seem boring. My family is in for a new treat!

by m2violin, 5/31/2010Easy dip-nice variation on French Onion dip. Be sure to prepare well in advance for the flavors to blend.
