By boscobojo

Ingredients

• 1 Tbl. olive oil
• 1 lb. onions, halved and thinly sliced
• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 6 strips thick-sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tsp red wine vinegar
• 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 15 minutes. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool slightly then coarsely chop.

In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Reserve 2 Tbl. bacon; stir remaining bacon, the onion, vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper into cream cheese mixture. Chill at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle with reserved bacon and garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
