1 Video | Photo: Pan-Fried Onion Dip Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup good mayonnaise
Directions
Cut the onions in half and then slice them into 1/8-inch thick half-rounds. (You will have about 3 cups of onions.) Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions, cayenne, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 more minutes until the onions are browned and caramelized. Allow the onions to cool.
Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the onions and mix well. Taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.

This is the best dip. I bring it to parties and it's always a smash hit. Don't reduce the amount of vegetable oil! You NEED that oil to carry the delicious flavors! If you want to reduce fat, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream and even the cream cheese! I did it once and it was STILL awesome! Just look at the chobani Greek yogurt conversion chart.

This is a really excellent onion dip! I made it several times and loved it every time. I did find that after a while I started to omit the 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil because after cooking the onions in the oil and the butter I was left with too much oil in the finished product. Just using the butter still caramelized them. I also cut the onions into quarter rounds for easier eating. The amount of salt and pepper in the ingredients worked out well. Great recipe and easy to make.
