5-Ingredient French Onion Dip


Ingredients:
1 finely chopped yellow onion, plus a splash of olive oil
[Sea salt & pepper]
3/4 cup beef broth, divided
1/2 cup sherry wine, divided
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups freshly shredded gruyére, divided

Directions:
In a large pan, add the chopped onions with a splash of olive oil, plus salt and pepper. Let the onions cook on low heat for 30 minutes. Stir them occasionally to prevent them from burning. After 30 minutes, add a 1/2 cup of beef broth and a 1/4 cup of sherry, and let the onions cook an additional 15 minutes. (Most of the liquid should be evaporated by now, and the onions should be a rich brown color. If not, you can cook them a little longer).
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of beef broth, plus 1/4 cup of sherry (you want liquid in the pan!). Then, add the softened cream cheese to the pan, and mix it into the onions and liquid, followed by 3/4 cup of cheese, and stir to until the cheese is fully melted into the mixture. Add more salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, and top it with the remaining 3/4 cup of cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes; to get the cheese topping a bit crispy, you can also broil the dip on high for an additional 2-4 minutes once the cooking time is done. Serve with chips or toasted baguette slices.
