Ingredients:
2 very large sweet onions, diced (about 4 cups)
1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 to 1/2 cup sour cream (adjust to taste)
1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
Pinch of salt (if needed)
2 tablespoons butter
3 to 4 tablespoons finely sliced chives
*Optional: 1/2 tablespoon buttermilk powder (for extra creaminess)
Instructions:
Sauté the Onions:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced sweet onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté the onions for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mix the Dip:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream (start with 1/4 cup and adjust to taste), soy sauce, black pepper, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, and buttermilk powder (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
Combine Onions and Seasonings:
Add the sautéed onions to the cream cheese mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more sour cream, salt, or spices to your preference.
Chill:
Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve:
Before serving, stir in the finely sliced chives. Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
