Indulgent Caramelized Shallot and Gruyère Dip

This Caramelized Shallot and Gruyère Dip is a warm and cozy blend of sweet shallots, rich cheese, and aromatic herbs. It’s gooey, savory, and features a touch of sweetness that perfectly balances the rich flavors.

Ingredients

4 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Crackers or bread for serving

Instructions

Caramelize the Shallots: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the sliced shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Mix the Dip: In a mixing bowl, combine the crème fraîche, Gruyère cheese, cream cheese, thyme, and the cooled shallots. Mix until well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the dip mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and golden on top.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with crackers or bread.
