Number Of Ingredients 10

4 bacon strips, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds yellow onions, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 small shallots, thinly sliced into rings
For serving: potato chips, celery, carrots, or other raw vegetables

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered out. Drain bacon, reserving the fat in the pan.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onions and salt. Cook onions over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and deep golden in color, about 1 hour. Add water if needed. Add the vinegar in the last minute of cooking. Cool to room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onions, and bacon.
  • Add vegetable oil to the skillet with bacon fat. Reheat on medium-high until the oil shimmers. Add the shallots, lower the heat, and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Drain, and garnish dip with fried shallots.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 slices thick bacon
4 large Vidalia or sweet onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
One 8-ounce brick cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup grated yellow Cheddar
3/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
One 10- to 12-inch boule
Crudites, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the bacon on a sheet pan fitted with a wire rack. Roast the bacon until crispy, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour the bacon fat from the sheet pan into a large skillet and warm over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, ground mustard, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned, soft and caramelized, 30 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Stir together the cream cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, Worcestershire, 1/2 cup Cheddar, 1/2 cup Swiss and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until completely combined. Stir in the warm onions.
  • Cut the top of the boule off and hollow out the center. Place the boule on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Save the scooped out chunks of bread and cut the removed top into pieces to dip later.
  • Fill the boule with the onion mixture and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheeses, holding back a tablespoon of each. Cut the bacon into 2-inch pieces and arrange them like the rays of the sun around the perimeter of the dip, then sprinkle the remaining cheese in the middle, overlapping the bacon to make an extra-cheesy center. Broil, watching closely to prevent burning, until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted beneath, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with crudites and reserved chunks of bread and use the bread bowl/bacon for dipping!

CARAMELIZED ONION AND BACON DIP

If you love yet hate that packaged onion soup mix dip, this is the version for you. It is a richer, deeper-flavored, cleaner-ingredient excuse for a potato-chip-dipping marathon. The dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Excerpted from "Mad Hungry Cravings" by Lucinda Scala Quinn, Artisan Books, March 2013.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 pounds yellow onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/3 pound bacon, chopped
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup safflower oil
3 shallots, thinly sliced into rings

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet. Add the olive oil. When it shimmers, add the onions and salt and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden in color, 45 minutes to I hour; add a little water if needed to prevent sticking. Add the vinegar during the last minute of cooking. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small skillet until it has rendered its fat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; reserve the fat in the pan if you will be frying the shallots.
  • Let the bacon cool.
  • Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onions, and bacon in a large bowl.
  • For the optional garnish, add the vegetable oil to the skillet with the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Add the shallots, lower the heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain the shallots on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Garnish the dip with the fried shallots, if using, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are the best choices for caramelizing, as they have a higher sugar content and will caramelize more easily.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly.
  • Cook the onions over low heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • Stir the onions frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot or skillet: If you add too many onions at once, they will not cook evenly.
  • Be patient: Caramelizing onions takes time. It can take up to 45 minutes or longer, depending on the amount of onions you are cooking.

Conclusion:

Caramelized Onion and Bacon Dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served with potato chips, crudite, or crackers, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests. With its sweet and savory flavor, Caramelized Onion and Bacon Dip is a must-try for any dip lover.
