Bon Appetit’s Baked Three-Cheese Onion Dip with Chive and Pepperoncini makes for a perfect game-day snack.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 ounces sharp cheddar, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
2 ounces Monterey Jack, coarsely grated (about ½ cup)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped pepperoncini
Tortilla chips
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until it softens and turns golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and let the onions cool to lukewarm.
Pulse the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a food processor until smooth (alternatively, use the back of a fork to combine in a small bowl, and stir until smooth).
In a medium bowl, toss the cornstarch, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack, making sure the cheese is coated in the cornstarch. Stir in the onion, and season with salt and pepper. Scrape the mixture into a 1-quart baking dish (or a small iron skillet). Bake until the dip bubbles and browns, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes, then top with the chives and pepperoncini. Serve with chips.
