With a nice blanket of snow on the ground and a good chill in the air, a comforting menu was on my mind for our Sunday dinner. Meat and potatoes with a few veggies certainly fit the bill. And to help keep the cold at bay, a warm starter to our meal is in order. I made this appetizer for the first time on Christmas Eve, and it got a five-star rating. Onion, cheese, mayonnaise, and a little kick of heat– um, yes please! I throw all the ingredients in the food processor for a smooth, creamy texture (plus it is easier) and add a little cayenne pepper for some zip.
Baked until browned and puffed —this dip will surely please any hungry crowd. You can serve it with crackers, chips, or sliced veggies (red bell pepper would work well) if you want a healthy alternative. I like it best with some buttered, toasted crostini for a really good crunch. It makes a big batch, so if you have any leftovers, the dip is excellent on a roast beef sandwich!
