Creamy cheesy hot onion dip, oh hellllo.

The holidays are here and we thought that a decadent an delicious vegan appetizer was in order.

We wanted to make this dip super decadent while also requiring relatively simple ingredients, and we think we did just that. The vegan cream cheese and mozzarella are the only two ingredients I feel are not always stocked in an average household, but nowadays, they are usually very easy to find (at least in the US). We also have a vegan cashew cream cheese recipe on the blog as well if you want to opt for homemade, too!

This creamy baked onion dip pairs perfectly with crackers, toasted bread and even raw vegetables like carrots, celery, and cucumber. We like to serve it with a variety of these so that our guests can pick and choose what they would like.

We also made a pull-apart bread recipe that is AWESOME with this dip and well worth the effort. Actually, when we first made this dip it was alongside that very recipe!

Instructions

1. Add 1/4 cup vegetable broth into a pan over medium-low heat. Once warmed, add the onion and cook down for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until caramelized. You will need to add more vegetable broth (1/4 cup at a time) as time passes to prevent burning, but the KEY to perfect caramelization without oil is to only add more broth once all of the previously added liquid has completely cooked off. Once the onions have browned, add in the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes more, or until fragrant. Remove the onions from the heat and cool.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grab a baking dish of choice. We used an 8-inch cast iron skillet.
3. In a high-speed blender, add the cream cheese, soaked cashews, almond milk, garlic, pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth.
4. Add the green onions, caramelized onions and garlic, and the vegan cheese shreds. Carefully mix together with a spoon until well combined.
5. Pour the dip from the blender into the oven safe dish and top it with a generous amount of panko breadcrumbs. Place into the oven for 30 minutes.
6. Once baked, broil the dip for 1-2 minutes or until the top is nice and golden.
7. Garnish with parsley and serve warm!

Notes

• If you want to speed up the cashew soaking process, bring a small pot of water to a boil and then remove it from heat. Add in the cashews and allow them to soak for 20-30 minutes. Drain.
