CARAMELIZED ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over low heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion is soft but not browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Increase heat to high, add butter, and sprinkle sugar over onions. Cook and stir frequently until onion is very tender and dark brown, 8 to 10 minutes more. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Combine sour cream, yogurt, and mayonnaise together in a bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Mince cooled onions on a cutting board; stir onions into sour cream mixture. Store in refrigerator to allow flavors to blend, at least 1 hour.

CARAMELIZED ONION DIP WITH HOT PAPRIKA

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter and olive oil until the butter melts completely. Add the onions and season with salt and the paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned and start to caramelize, about 15 to 20 minutes. Lower the heat and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned and tender but not falling apart, 15 to 20 more minutes. Transfer the onions to a baking sheet to cool.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise and vinegar. When smooth, remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in three-quarters of the caramelized onions, three-quarters of the scallions and the cayenne. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt.
• Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with the remaining caramelized onions and scallions. Serve with bread.

CARAMELIZED FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup water, Worcestershire, beef base, onion powder, and thyme. Increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until beef base is dissolved.
• Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 to 45 minutes. Liquid will slowly evaporate and onions will caramelize. If onions start to stick to the pan, throw in a splash of water and scrape up the delicious bits. Taste before adding sugar, salt, and pepper. Once seasoned to your liking, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Mix cooled onions with sour cream until well combined. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
