INGREDIENTS

2 yellow or white onions halved and thinly sliced

1/4 tsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp salt

3 Tbsp white wine optional

1/2 tsp minced fresh thyme

1/2 tsp minced fresh rosemary

6-8 slices bacon

1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese

1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Use tongs to remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Crumble and set aside. Keep bacon grease in the skillet.
Heat the same skillet with the bacon grease over MED heat. Add onions, salt and brown sugar and cook until onions are soft and are turning a light golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Lower heat to MED-LOW and cook onions 20-30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so, until they are a deep golden color.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Pour in wine (if using), and use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Cook until wine reduces by about half, then stir in rosemary and thyme.
In a mixing bowl, add gruyere and white cheddar, sour cream and mayo.
Stir in caramelized onions and crumbled bacon.
Spray a baking dish or cast iron skillet with cooking spray and transfer dip to the baking dish.
Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, until bubbly and lightly golden brown.
Sprinkle with minced parsley and sliced green onions.
