Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Spanish onions, sliced thinly
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 1/2 beef bouillon cube
- 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon finely minced fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1 lemon, zested
- 12 baguette crostini
Instructions
- In a medium pot, heat the olive oil and add the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until the onions start to brown, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until the onions are caramelized; this will take between 30 and 40 minutes.
- Add the beef stock and bouillon cube and simmer until the liquid has been absorbed into the onions. Stir in the sherry vinegar and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool completely.
- Add the sour cream and cream cheese to the onion mixture and stir to combine. Place the dip in a serving bowl and top with the chives and lemon zest. Serve with the crostini.
Reviews
GZ nails it again. Had friends over and everyone loved it. So elevated from normal french onion dip. Now I want to find other uses for it.
Loved it but too much lemon zest. Would only use 1/2 lemon next time. Also added worcestershire sauce.
I mixed the onions up, added worcestershire. Great dip I thought
This is sooooo good! and easy to make.
Highly recommend the roast Beef (rare good quality) wrapped cheese sticks as shown on TV, over crostini.
