Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups grated Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Slice: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Cut the yellow onion into quarters and then thinly slice them to prepare for mixing.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, grated Swiss cheese, and the thinly sliced onions. Mix everything thoroughly to create a well-blended dip base.
- Bake the Dip: Transfer the combined mixture evenly into a baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top layer is bubbly and golden brown, indicating it’s cooked through and deliciously melted.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. This helps the dip thicken slightly and makes it ideal for serving with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- For a stronger onion flavor, sauté the onions lightly before mixing.
- Use low-fat mayonnaise and cream cheese to reduce calories.
- This dip pairs perfectly with toasted baguette slices or crunchy vegetable sticks.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
