How to Make French Onion Dip

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Approximately 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped chives, plus more for garnish

Step by Step Guide

1. Start by heating up a skillet on medium-low. Add the butter and olive oil, and once that butter is melting, toss in the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Let these onions cook slowly, stirring occasionally. The goal is golden, caramelized perfection, which will take about 20 to 30 minutes.

2. About 5 minutes before the onions are done, turn off the heat and drizzle in that oh-so-sweet honey. Stir it in well and let the natural sugars from the onions and honey mingle—creating a rich, delicious blend of sweet and savory.

3. Once the onions have cooled slightly, grab a big bowl and combine the sour cream, cream cheese, and those caramelized onions. Toss in a tablespoon of chopped chives for a fresh pop of flavor and color. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix everything together.

Serve and Enjoy!

Now, the fun part—serving! Scoop the dip into a bowl, sprinkle a little extra chopped chives on top for garnish, and serve it alongside your favorite dipping goodies. Chips, crackers, or even fresh veggies like carrots and cucumbers will work perfectly. You might just want to make a double batch because this dip is seriously addictive!

If you’ve got any leftover dip (though I’m sure it’ll be gone in no time!), store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Just give it a quick stir before serving again to bring it back to its creamy, flavorful glory.

Whether you’re hosting a family movie night, a casual gathering with friends, or just need a savory snack for the kids, this French Onion Dip with Honey is a total crowd-pleaser. The creamy texture, the sweet hint of honey, and those caramelized onions make it an irresistible dip that’ll have everyone reaching for more. Enjoy, and don’t forget to keep things fun and easy—because finger foods are the best kind of food!
