French Onion Sour Cream Dip Recipes

FRENCH ONION DIP FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook and stir until the onions are caramelized to a nice golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove the onions from the heat and cool.
• Mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, white pepper, and remaining kosher salt. Stir in the onions when they are cool. Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours before serving.

HOW TO MAKE FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• Place sour cream in a small bowl. Add dried onion, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and parsley. Mix together very well until completely uniform. Taste with a chip and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dried onion to soften. Store in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION DIP

Steps:

• Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt and chives to a bowl. Mix together, and then cover and chill until ready to serve.

FRENCH ONION SOUP DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very tender and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then brush butter on both sides of the bread. Transfer to a baking sheet. Broil until lightly toasted and golden, about 1 minute per side. Set aside for serving.
• Once the onions are caramelized, add the sherry and continue to cook until the liquid has reduced completely, about 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Simmer until the broth has reduced by half, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, sour cream and Parmesan until smooth and creamy. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Broil until the mozzarella on top is lightly browned and the dip is bubbling at the edges, about 2 minutes. Top with chopped chives and serve with toasted bread.

CREAMY FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, shallots, garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute, stirring occasionally, until onions are browned and caramelized, 15 to 18 minutes. If garlic begins to brown too much, add a few tablespoons water and continue cooking.
• Allow mixture to cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Add cottage cheese, thyme, and marjoram; puree again until smooth. Stir in chopped chives.
• Serve immediately, or refrigerate dip for at least 1 hour or more to give the flavors time to combine.
