French Onion Dip

The aroma of caramelized onions slowly cooking in butter brings back memories of mom’s Sunday snacks—warm, homemade, and far better than anything from a tub. This dip is silky, full of deep flavor, and impossible to stop eating once you start. A timeless classic with a gourmet twist, it pairs beautifully with chips, crackers, or fresh veggies.
