Instructions

Preheat Oven
Set oven to 375°F (190°C).
Sauté the Onions
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and cook chopped onions until soft and golden brown (8-10 minutes). Stir in Worcestershire sauce and let cool slightly.
Mix the Dip
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Swiss cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and hot sauce. Fold in the sautéed onions and mix until smooth.
Assemble & Bake
Spread the mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle with extra cheese and panko breadcrumbs if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly and golden on top.
Serve & Enjoy!
Garnish with chopped chives or parsley. Serve warm with crackers, crostini, pita chips, or fresh veggies.

Notes

If you’d like a more crispy top, broil the dip for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
