French Onion Dip is a classic party appetizer that never disappoints. Put a bowl of onion dip out with a bowl of chips and it is sure to disappear in minutes.
But, have you tried a Baked Onion Dip?
No, now is the time. Game changer!
The combination of caramelized onions, warm creamy cheeses and the tang of Greek yogurt is simply irresistible.

This warm gooey dip serves up well for holidays, game nights, movie nights, parties or for snacking during the big game.
Just in case it isn't obvious from my French Onion Burger, Pizza with Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms and my tutorial on How to Caramelize Onions, I love caramelized onions.
So, it should be no surprise that I found yet another way to incorporate sweet, jammy caramelized onions into another recipe.
Ingredients
For full ingredient list and measurements see the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Onions - Sweet Vidalia
- Cheese - Cream cheese & Gruyere
- Sour cream
- Yogurt - Plain Greek yogurt
You'll notice there is no mayo in this recipe. I'm not a big fan of mayo, so I am not using it.
TIP: My favorite way to slice onions is using a mandolin slicer. The result is quick and even sized slices.
Instructions
Step one is cooking down the onions. This is the most time consuming part.
Once the onions are soft and golden, stir everything else together. Top with more cheese and bake.
Serve with baked onion dip warm with chips, crostini, pita chips or even a beer bread or I think this Bacon Cheese Bread would be a good dipper too!
Recipe notes
- Cheese is always better when you shred it yourself. I use a simple box grater and it takes no more than 2 minutes.
- It is tough to measure the amount of onions, don't worry, using more or less onion will be fine.
- As with any recipe, salt preference is personal. Always taste as you go to make sure you like the salt level. You can always add more but you can't remove.
