Caramelized Onion, Bacon and Gruyere Dip
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 cups onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup shredded gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place bacon on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until crispy. Cut into small chunks.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and saute until softened, about 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook until onions are caramelized, about 30 more minutes. If the pan becomes too dry, add a couple tablespoons of water. Remove onions from heat and cool.
- Mix together onions with bacon, mayonnaise, sour cream, ¼ cup gruyere, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour dip mixture into a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle ¼ cup gruyere on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Serve warm with chips, crostini or crudite.
Notes
You can prepare the dip ahead of time and bake it before serving.
