• actieve tijd: 40 min
• totale tijd: 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingrediënten

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 lb onions (halved and thinly sliced)

4 oz cream cheese (softened)

½ cup sour cream

6 strips thick-sliced bacon (cooked and crumbled)

2 teaspoon red wine vinegar

½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (plus sprigs for garnish)

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructies

Cook bacon until crispy. Cool and crumble.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 15 minutes. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool slightly, then coarsely chop.

In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Set aside 2 tablespoon bacon; stir remaining bacon, the onion, vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper into cream cheese mixture. Chill at least 30 minutes. (Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days.) Sprinkle with reserved bacon and garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
