Gouda Caramelized Onion Dip

Get ready to wow your guests with our Gouda Caramelized Onion Dip! It's cheesy, gooey, and delicious, and the best part? It's a breeze to whip up!

Ingredients:

• 10 oz Marieke Gouda cheese, rind removed, cubed or shredded (we like a combination of Young and Premium Gouda)
• 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp butter
• Pinch of salt
• Fresh thyme for garnish
• Crusty bread crackers, or fresh veggies for serving

Directions:

• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions,  a pinch of salt, and half a cup of water. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and caramelized. This will take about 15 - 20 minutes; lower the heat if needed to prevent burning. This step can be done ahead of time.

• Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a small cast iron skillet, add the cubed or shredded Gouda.

• Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 - 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

• Remove the dish from the oven and immediately spread the onions over the melted cheese.

• Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on top for a pop of color and flavor. Serve warm with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.
