WARM FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and toss them in the butter. Cut a piece of parchment paper the same size of the inside of the skillet. Place the parchment paper on top of the onions as they cook. Cook over low heat for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to pick up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
• Pre-heat oven to 375ºF.
• When the onions have softened and browned, add the sherry, Worcestershire sauce and thyme leaves, tossing well to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and simmer for a few more minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the heat. In a large bowl combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and ½ cup of the Gruyère cheese. Fold the caramelized onions into the mixture. Spread the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with the remaining Gruyère cheese and bake in the 375ºF oven for 15 minutes.
• Switch the oven setting to broil and leave the casserole under the broiler for 2 to 5 minutes, until the top has browned and is bubbly.
• Garnish with the chopped chives and serve the hot dip with crostini.

WARM FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• Add oil to a large saute pan and add in onions.
• Over medium-high heat cook onions in a single layer for 30 minutes. Try not to stir the onions too much. You can turn the heat down to medium if they seem like they are burning.
• Add garlic and cook for a minute.
• Add in white wine and deglaze the pan, 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in beef consume and bring to a simmer.
• Add in mayo, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, Swiss cheese and pepper. Stir to combine making sure cream cheese has fully melted.
• Take off the heat and pour mixture into a cast iron skillet or leave in the same skillet if it is oven safe. Top with Parmesan and Swiss cheese.
• Place under the broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbly about 2 minutes.
• Add parsley for garnish and serve immediately alongside the Garlic Cheese Crostini.
• Add garlic, olive oil and salt to a mortar and pestle or a bowl. Crush the garlic in the oil (you can use a muddler if you do not have a mortar and pestle). This breaks up the garlic and infuses the flavor into the oil.
• Stir in dried oregano.
• Spoon the oil onto each slice of bread.
• Top with parmesan cheese.
• Place in the oven under the broiler and bake for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Keep a very close eye on them they burn easily.

FRENCH ONION SOUP DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very tender and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then brush butter on both sides of the bread. Transfer to a baking sheet. Broil until lightly toasted and golden, about 1 minute per side. Set aside for serving.
• Once the onions are caramelized, add the sherry and continue to cook until the liquid has reduced completely, about 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Simmer until the broth has reduced by half, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, sour cream and Parmesan until smooth and creamy. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Broil until the mozzarella on top is lightly browned and the dip is bubbling at the edges, about 2 minutes. Top with chopped chives and serve with toasted bread.

Steps:

• Unwrap Cream Cheese, place on a plate and microwave on HIGH for 35-40 seconds (I have an 1100 watt microwave)
• In a medium-sized bowl, place softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayo and soup mix. Blend using the medium speed of your hand mixer until well combined, scraping sides as needed. If the dip seems a bit thick, thin out with a bit of milk (start with 1 tablespoon and repeat until dip is at desired consistency).
• Spoon dip into a microwave-safe serving dish and warm in the microwave for a short period of time (40 seconds?) - I'd probably go 30 seconds and then add increments of 5 seconds until heated as desired. Don't cook too long or the dip might break (ask me how I know?).
• Note: I used about 2 tablespoons of Vogue Cuisine Onion Soup & Seasoning Base (Low Sodium, Gluten Free, All Natural Ingredients). I suppose you could use room-temp cream cheese and warm this in the oven (toaster oven), but I was in a hurry.
