1 Video | Photo: French Onion Dip Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 Vidalia onions, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rings
- 2 large shallots, sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rings
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chives, finely chopped, for garnish
- Potato chips, for serving
Directions
In a large saute pan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. Add the shallots and saute for 8 to 10 more minutes, until the onions and shallots are dark brown. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes, then chop the onion mixture into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a bowl, mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fold in the onion mixture. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. Garnish with chives and serve with potato chips.

I thought this was delicious, excellent recipe. I followed the directions except I chopped my onions before cookong. I only cooked the onions for the time called for so they would not be to sweet. I think if you overcook the onions it may change the flavor.
Thanks Guy for sharing.

Took MUCH longer to properly caramelize the onions than the recipe suggested. You can scorch the onions in the time given but not caramelize them. Low and slow is the name of the game when you caramelize onions. Definitely worth the time it took.

I LOVE the dip but am very disappointed that there was no recipe for the toast slices around the bowl in the original picture. How are they made? They look absolutely wonderful!
