Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, and a creamy, flavorful cheese, such as Gruyère or Swiss.
  • Slice the onions thinly and evenly so that they cook evenly. A mandoline slicer can be helpful for this task.
  • Cook the onions slowly and patiently. This will allow them to caramelize and develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to add a little bit of acidity to the dip, such as white wine vinegar or lemon juice. This will help to balance out the richness of the cheese and onions.
  • Serve the dip warm, with plenty of crusty bread, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.
