Oh yum! I made this up on a whim as a pre-dinner appetizer when we had guests over last weekend. I made a half batch of it and served it with garlic parmesan pita chips. There was none left, left me tell you. Dinner that evening was bacon wrapped marinated venison tenderloins, bread baked on the grill, sweet potato-thyme packets and my Oriental Cabbage Salad. We ate well and drank well that evening. To top it off the weather was absolutely beautiful, so it really was a great time.
Recipe:
1 large sweet onion
1-2 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP sugar
1 brick cream cheese
1 small container Gorgonzola crumbles
1/2 cup sour cream
Mince up the onion. Get a pan on the stove at about medium heat, and put a tablespoon or so of olive oil on the bottom. Add the onions and put a little bit of salt on them to get them to sweat out the liquid. When they have cooked for about 5 minutes, add in the sugar. Let them carmelize and cook up for another 10 minutes until they are nice and golden in color.
Meanwhile mix up and soften the cream cheese, gorgonzola and sour cream in a microwaveable dish. Get it all nice and melted. Add in the onions when they are done and you can serve immediately or save in the refridgerator and reheat later. I like it heated up, but you can also serve cold. Enjoy!
Sorry, no picture this time as I was in a hurry…and our Internet has been broken all week. I will try to get one the next time I make it.
This sounds so Yummy.
What a fun evening
How come it seems as if I can gain a pound or two just reading one of your posts????
Anything at all with caramelized onions in it is divine. 😉
Oh yummo! I love the way you pull these off at the last second and they are total hits 🙂 I somehow always feel like I am starving after reading your blog!

Oh. My. Word.
I think I’ve died and gone to cheese heaven. This recipe has all my favorite things in it: carmelized onions, cream cheese, and gorganzola. It does not get any better than this. I WILL be making this soon. Good thing I’m pregnant…I can gain the weight gain on that and use it as an excused to eat the whole batch by myself.
