Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion

• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the onion is soft and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and the sautéed onion to the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with a golden-brown top.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
