Description

This steakhouse-inspired dip captures the iconic flavors of a bloomin' onion without the heavy frying process. Whole sweet yellow onions take on a deep, wood-smoked char on the grill before being chopped and folded into a creamy base of sour cream, mayonnaise, and sharp horseradish. Spiced with paprika, garlic, and a hint of cayenne, it delivers an intensely savory, tangy spread perfect for dipping chips, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.

Ingredients
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 EA envelope Lipton French Onion soup mix

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup Brinner onions (garlic-infused smoked onion, chopped)
  • 8 oz sharp white cheddar, shredded
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp melted butter
