A Note From feedfeed
I only first tried onion dip a few months ago when our Senior Food Editor, Molly, developed a heavenly recipe. I’ve been obsessed ever since! It’s the new star of my dinner parties and even made an appearance on my Thanksgiving table! That’s when I thought to combine caramelized onion dip with my absolute favorite comfort food… French Onion Soup! Bells were ringing, birds were chirping and I knew I had to create this recipe.
Now, for the low and slow caramelization of the onions that will have you tied to the stove. It’s the worst! But it’s freakin’ worth it. Pro tip: make more than you need, every time. If I’m going to go through the trouble of slicing at least 6 onions, you best believe I’m doing 12. Why? Because it takes forever and you might as well have some extra for a rainy day (they even freeze beautifully).
After the caramelization part, the rest of this dip is easy as can be! The secret ingredient to this bread bowl of ecstasy is marmite! Now, don’t be scared of this very British ingredient I’m throwing in here, but it’s a yeasty ingredient that adds a depth of flavor to fortify those French Onion Soup vibes.
This recipe is brought to you from FeedfeedBrooklyn in our Test Kitchen Sponsored by GE Profile’s Smart Appliances, where we used our GE Profile Smart Oven & Induction Cooktop to make this onion dip!
