Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups chopped white onion, I used 1 1/2 medium white onion (preferably Vidalia onion when it's in season)
  • 2 tsp chopped garlic
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 8 oz vegan cream cheese, softened (not sponsored to say this but Trader Joe's brand is the best in my opinion)
  • 1 cup vegan mayo
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 cups vegan shredded "mozzarella style" cheese
  • 3 green onion, sliced thin (reserve 2 tbsp of green parts for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup canned crunchy fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a small casserole or 9 inch oven safe frying pan with cooking spray, set aside

  2. In a skillet over medium/high heat add the olive oil, white onion, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and vinegar and sauté for 5 minutes stirring occasionally and then turn down heat to medium low for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until a deep golden brown, set aside to cool for 5 minutes.

  3. While onion mixture is cooking grab a medium sized mixing bowl and mix together the vegan cream cheese, vegan mayo, nutritional yeast, vegan shredded cheese and green onions

  4. Add the sautéed onions and mix well. Pour into a casserole and spread evenly, sprinkle the fried onions over the top and tent the top of the casserole with foil

  5. Place the dip on a sheet pan into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, rotate and take foil off and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes until dark golden and bubbly. Let rest for 10 minutes, sprinkle the reserved green onions on top for garnish and serve warm with pita chips, toasted baguette or crackers
