Step by Step Instructions (With Pictures)
Step 1: Shred Cheese and Chop Onion
Shred swiss cheese and pack tightly into the 1 cup measuring utensil. Finely chop the sweet onion; smaller pieces are ideal.
Note: do not grate the onion, this changes the onion’s cell structure and leads to an overpowering onion flavor. I couldn’t kiss my taste tester (husband) for HOURS after he tried the first version of this recipe that called for grated onions.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients Together
Combine shredded swiss cheese, finely chopped onion, and cream cheese together in a bowl and stir until everything is evenly mixed.
Enjoying it cold? Serve right away!
Step 3: Bake
Set oven to 400F and bake for 15 minutes or until light gold color.
That’s it, you’re done! This dip will last for several days in your fridge and can be reheated or enjoyed as is.
