Instructions
Caramelizing the Onions Make sure your onions are cut up into larger pieces, they take longer to cook but won't be completely pulverized when we make the dip. I halved the onion and then cut it into slices. Heat olive oil over medium heat, add onions. Stir frequently until softened and translucent. This takes about 10-12 minutes and the onions will have slightly browned during this time. Add Worcestershire sauce. It will feverishly bubble as it deglazes the pan, stir continuously to coat the onions and scrape up and brown bits. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow onions to sit in the warm pan while you make the dip. Making the Dip Preheat your oven to 400° F (204° C). Prepare with nonstick spray an 8" x 8" baking dish (I used my 7.5" x 6" Staub ceramic dish). In a food processor, add 6 ounces of the Feta cheese (reserve the remainder to top your dip), cream cheese, and Greek yogurt. Pulse for 5 seconds. Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Pulse for 5 more seconds. Add caramelized onions. Pulse for 5 to 15 seconds depending on how quickly the onions break down into the dip and your preference. Spread dip into your baking dish and top with the remaining Feta cheese. Bake on middle wrack for 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve immediately.View original recipe
