A delightful twist on the classic French onion dip, featuring rich caramelized onions and a creamy base.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized, about 20 minutes.
Cook the onions slowly to bring out their natural sweetness.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add garlic towards the end to prevent burning.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Cooling the mixture prevents it from melting the creamy base.
In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure a smooth and even consistency.
Fold the cooled onion mixture into the creamy base.
Gently fold to maintain the texture of the caramelized onions.
Refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
Chilling enhances the flavor and texture of the dip.
Garnish with fresh chives and serve with potato chips.
Chop chives finely for an elegant presentation.
