CARAMELIZED ONION AND SPINACH DIP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in the 2.5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rosemary sprigs and fry until fragrant and the leaves are crisp, 1 minute. Using tongs, remove the rosemary and transfer to paper towels to drain. If any leaves are left behind in the oil, remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the paper towels as well.
• Return the pan with the oil to medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, 20-25 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Stir in the spinach and cook for 2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture. Add the cream cheese and cook, stirring, until completely melted and incorporated into the onions and spinach.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let cool to room temperature or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Remove the rosemary leaves from the stems over a cutting board. Crush with your fingers or finely chop with a knife.
• Transfer the dip to a serving dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the fried rosemary and serve with pita chips, toasted bread, or crudités.
• Enjoy!

BACON, SPINACH, SWISS, & CARAMELIZED ONION DIP RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• I made this in our food processor but you could also hand mix it if you wanted. It will just take a bit more effort. First, combine all your Dip Trinity - cream/neufchâtel cheeses, mayo, and sour cream. Blend until completely creamed together, then incorporate the onion soup mix. Meanwhile, heat up a tablespoon of oil in a skilled and let your onions brown up and caramelize on low heat for about 20 minutes. When you have about 10 minutes to go, fry up your bacon in another skillet. You want it crispy and crunchable, not soggy, but you also don't want to burn it. Add the red pepper flakes, lemon, and as much black pepper to the creamy mixture and give it a few pulses. You can add more later to your tasting. Once that's all pulsed (or hand mixed) together and there are no lumps, throw in your caramelized onions, bacon (just crumble it by hand while you drop it in), spinach, and cheese. You don't want to totally liquefy this all together, you want some texture and chunks. After you've lightly pulsed it together, dip your favorite cracker or bread in there for a taste test, if you want more pepper, or lemon, onion soup mix, go for it. Serve alongside your favorite chips or crackers, topped with a bit of shredded cheese and a sprinkle of paprika.

CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION BACON DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the bacon on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Roast the bacon until crispy, about 20 minutes.
• Pour the bacon fat from the sheet pan into a large skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, ground mustard, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned, soft and caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Stir together the cream cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Swiss and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until completely combined. Stir in the warm onions.
• Cut the top of the boule off and hollow out the center. Place the boule on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Save the scooped out chunks of bread and cut the removed top into pieces to dip later.
• Fill the boule with the onion mixture and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheeses, holding back a tablespoon of each. Cut the bacon into 2-inch pieces and arrange them like the rays of the sun around the perimeter of the dip, then sprinkle the remaining cheese in the middle, overlapping the bacon to make an extra-cheesy center. Broil, watching closely to prevent burning, until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted beneath, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with crudites and reserved chunks of bread and use the bread bowl/bacon for dipping!
