Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 1/2 cups diced onions ((2 to 3 onions) (brown, yellow or white))
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 4 oz / 120 g cream cheese ((cold), cut into cubes)
- 1/4 cup whole egg mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream ((full fat is best, but you can use low fat or even yoghurt))
Steps
-
Melt the butter in a fry pan over medium heat.
-
Add the onions, salt, pepper, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Then reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should be sweet and golden. Remove from stove and allow to cool.
-
Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo in a bowl, mix until smooth (use microwave in 10 sec bursts if needed to assist)
-
Add the caramelised onions. Mix until just combined. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to allow flavours to develope, overnight is better!
-
Serve at room temperature, garnished with chopped chives if desired. Best served with crinkle cut plain potato chips!
