French onion cheese dip
Is there anything better for a party appetizer than three kinds of cheese combined together? I think not! If you’re having a New Year’s party this year or celebrating by yourself, this is the dish to make!
INGREDIENTS
– 2 tbsp butter, melted
– 2 cups sliced sweet onions
– 1 tsp salt
– 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
– 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
– 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS
– Preheat oven to 350°F.
– In a 12-inch skillet melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onion and salt. Sauté over medium-low, stirring occasionally until the onions are caramelized with deep color, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat.
– To the warm the caramelized onions, add the cream cheese. Stir the cream cheese into the onions until it is melted and smooth. Next, stir in the Greek yogurt, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, Brie cheese.
