Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion finely diced
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- 1 ½ tablespoons ketchup
- 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 cup fried onions for topping
- french bread sliced, toasted, for dipping
Instructions
- Start by finely dicing your onion and set it aside. To a bowl add your cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, horseradish, ketchup, and Worcestershire.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until completely combined.
- Stir in the diced onion, bread crumbs, garlic, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Mix once more until combined.
- Pour into a serving bowl and smooth out evenly.
- Top with the fried onions.
- Serve with toasted French bread, chips, pretzels, or crackers. Enjoy!
Notes
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing. Cold cream cheese stays lumpy no matter how much you beat it.
- Use a hand mixer to get the mixture creamy and save your arm muscles.
- Dice the onion very fine so you don't bite into a big chunk.
- Add fried onions right before serving. They get soggy if added too early.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Different brands of horseradish can vary in the level of heat.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for the best texture. They're crunchier than regular breadcrumbs and stay crisp longer.
- Toast French bread for the most authentic blooming onion experience. Butter the slices before toasting.
- Let the dip come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving if it's very cold.
- Make it spicier or milder by adjusting cayenne and horseradish to your taste.
- Serve in a shallow bowl rather than a deep one. This makes dipping easier.
