Scale
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 onions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Cut the large yellow onion into quarters and then thinly slice it to ensure even mixing and consistent flavor throughout the dip.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, grated Swiss cheese, and the thinly sliced onions thoroughly to create a creamy, cheesy mixture.
- Bake the dip: Transfer the combined mixture into a baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and the top turns a beautiful golden brown, enhancing the flavor and texture.
- Cool and serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let the dip cool for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Serve warm with your choice of dippers such as crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for a delicious appetizer experience.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth and well-blended dip.
- For extra flavor, you can caramelize the onions lightly on the stovetop before mixing, though this is optional.
- This dip is best served warm but can be reheated if needed.
- Pairs well with a variety of dippers like pita chips, pretzels, or sliced bell peppers.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
