Steps
- Caramelize the Onions: Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 45-60 minutes until onions are deeply golden brown and caramelized. If onions start to stick, add a splash of water.
- Deglaze (Optional): Add white wine to the pan and scrape up any browned bits. Cook for 1-2 minutes until wine evaporates. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Prepare Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add Seasonings: Stir in chives, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until evenly distributed.
- Combine: Fold in the cooled caramelized onions, mixing gently to distribute throughout the dip.
- Chill & Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
