Ingredients
- 8 strips bacon
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons white wine
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups Gruyere cheese, shredded and divided
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In an oven-safe skillet (8-10 inches), cook bacon over medium-high heat.
- Remove bacon from the skillet and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to let cool. Do not clean out the skillet.
- To the skillet with bacon grease, add the onions and sugar. Cook 20 minutes over medium heat, stirring often. (When onions start to stick to the pan, scrape them up.)
- Add the wine. Cook down to half (2-3 minutes).
- Add the sour cream, cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, 1 cup shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
- (If you want a thicker dip, move the ingredients to a smaller over-safe dish, such as a 6 inch skillet. If you don't mind a thinner dip, continue on with the skillet you cooked everything in thus far.)
- Crumble the cooked bacon and add most of it to the cream cheese mixture, reserving a little for the topping.
- Top with the remaining cup of cheese and reserved bacon.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is hot and bubbly. Garnish with parsley before serving.
- Serve warm with baguettes, pretzels, chips, crackers, or bagel crisps.
