Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sugar (optional, for faster caramelization)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional, for deglazing)
  • 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions:
    • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 30–40 minutes.
    • If the onions start to stick, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine or water. Stir to scrape up the browned bits.
    • Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Mix the Base:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
    • Stir in half of the Gruyere, the mozzarella, and the caramelized onions.
  4. Assemble and Bake:
    • Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish or skillet.
    • Top with the remaining Gruyere cheese.
    • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, if using.
    • Serve hot with slices of baguette, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of balsamic vinegar to the onions while caramelizing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • Gruyere can be substituted with Swiss cheese or a sharp white cheddar if desired.
