Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup small diced sweet onion
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Baguette, crackers, or chips for serving

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. Start by ensuring your cream cheese is at room temperature. If you forgot to take it out of the fridge, microwave it for about 10-15 seconds to soften it slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Using a spatula, blend them together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in the small diced sweet onion and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Sprinkle in the freshly ground black pepper and mix thoroughly until the dip is well combined and creamy.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving with dippers.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet onion based on your preference.
  • Prep ingredients in advance for a quick mix before serving.
  • Consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
