Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pkg cream cheese, 8 oz.
- 2 c grated cheddar cheese or grated jalapeño jack
- 1 c mayonnaise
- 1 small purple onion, diced
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then place it in a medium mixing bowl and beat until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the grated cheddar cheese (or jalapeño jack for extra kick) to the bowl with the cream cheese.
- Measure and add the mayonnaise to the cheese mixture, then blend everything together until fully incorporated and creamy.
- Dice the purple onion into small pieces and fold them into the cheese mixture.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula.
- For a warm variation, spoon the mixture into an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
- Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Notes
- Freshly grated cheese incorporates better than pre-shredded.
- For a milder flavor, substitute green onions or rinse diced purple onion.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to enhance flavors.
