French Onion Dip From Scratch

1T                Olive oil

1-1/2C        Onions thinly sliced

3/4t            Chopped fresh rosemary

1T                White wine vinegar

4oz.             Cream cheese, cut into 2 pieces and softened

3oz.             Sour cream

1/4C            Mayonnaise

1/8t            Cayenne pepper

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat.

Add the onions and rosemary and cook on medium, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to brown, about 15 minutes.

Add the vinegar and cook, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, until the vinegar has evaporated, 1 minute.

Transfer the onions to a food processor and let cool for 10 minutes.

Add the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and cayenne and pulse until mostly smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Let the dip stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can develop.

If necessary, thin with a little water.
