  • 1/4 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp white wine (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp minced fresh thyme

Instruction

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Use tongs to remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Crumble and set aside. Keep bacon grease in the skillet.
  • Heat the same skillet with the bacon grease over MED heat. Add onions, salt and brown sugar and cook until onions are soft and are turning a light golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Lower heat to MED-LOW and cook onions 20-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until they are a deep golden color.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pour in wine (if using), and use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook until wine reduces by about half, then stir in rosemary and thyme.
  • In a mixing bowl, add gruyere and white cheddar, sour cream and mayo.
  • Stir in caramelized onions and crumbled bacon.
  • Spray a baking dish or cast iron skillet with cooking spray and transfer dip to the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden brown.
  • Sprinkle with minced parsley and sliced green onions.
