Description

This dip is inspired by a classic - Lipton Onion Soup mix combined with sour cream. By making this dip completely from scratch - and with local products like Vermont Creamery crème fraîche and Bayley Hazen Blue - you can control the saltiness of the final product and tinker with it according to your tastes, adding more lemon juice, cheese or Worcestershire as desired.

Ingredients

2Tablespoonunsalted butter
1 large sweet onion (thinly sliced)
1Teaspoonsalt
1⁄4Teaspoonblack pepper
8Ouncecrème fraîche
1⁄4Cupblue cheese, crumbled (such as Bayley Hazen Blue)
1⁄4Cupmayonnaise
1Tablespoonlemon juice
1TeaspoonWorcestershire sauce

Instructions

In a medium skillet, melt the butter; cook the onions, seasoning them with the salt and pepper, stirring often, until brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes.  Remove from the heat to cool.

In a medium bowl, combine the cooled onions with the crème fraiche, blue cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce. Adjust seasoning and serve with fresh, crunchy vegetables or chips.
