Notes
Tips
- Fully soften your cream cheese for the richest, creamiest texture. Chilled cream cheese often leaves the dip feeling grainy.
- Keep your heat at medium when cooking the onions. You want them to cook slowly to ensure they caramelize without burning.
- It's important to use a yellow or sweet onion in this recipe. Their higher sugar content creates a much better caramelized flavor.
- This spread is best when served warm or at room temperature, but it's still tasty when cold!
