Ingredients

  • 2 ½ Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 large Vidalia onions, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 Tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 8 oz. goat cheese, softened
  • 6 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Add butter to a large skillet over medium low heat. When melted, add onions and stir until well coated in butter.
  • When onions are turning transparent, after about 10 minutes of cooking, stir in brown sugar and apple cider vinegar.
  • Continue cooking for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until onions are well caramelized. Stir in salt and pepper.
  • While onions are cooking, put goat cheese, cream cheese, and balsamic vinegar in a large bowl. Stir well to combine. Spread mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Spoon caramelized onions over the top of the goat cheese mixture.
  • You can serve the dip at room temperature, but it's best if you warm it in the oven or microwave for a few minutes (if using microwave, make sure your pie dish is microwave-safe first). Serve with crackers or dipper of your choice.

Notes

You can make this dip a day ahead and keep in fridge. Just be sure to bring to room temperature, or even better, warm before serving.
