Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425℉. Spray a small casserole dish with nonstick baking spray, and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil.
When the butter and oil are hot, add the thinly sliced onions. Season with salt.
Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring constantly, until dark brown and caramelized. You will have around 1 ½ cups (~265 grams) caramelized onions at this point.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, and stir until it’s evaporated. Season with the fresh thyme leaves, too.
Add the cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until combined.
Add ¾ cup of the shredded cheese. Stir to combine.
Transfer the dip to the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with the remaining ⅓ cup cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is dark brown and bubbly.
Garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.

Notes

How to make in advance: Caramelize the onions. Assemble the dip. Transfer to the casserole dip, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge. Bake off before serving.
