Serves 8 as an appetizer
Superbowl Sunday is in a few weeks and we're already prepping! If you're thinking it's time to give your recipe playbook a bit of a refresh, we've got a Mighty version of french onion dip that will quickly become a game day ritual. A couple of easy adds make this quick, but upscale riff on the party favorite that will surely become a staple in your everyday hosting repertoire. Just blend some cream cheese and sour cream with fresh thyme, caramelized onions, a little heat from Sriracha, and a punch of lemon zest for the perfect accompaniment to our Sea Salt pretzels. -- Chef Tony
INGREDIENTS
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 Spanish onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ lb. cream cheese, softened to room temp

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering hot, about 1 ½ minutes.

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Refrigerate until ready to serve with the OMM pretzels.
