Truffle French Onion Dip

Rich, creamy, and packed with bold flavors, this dish has quickly become a favorite at all my group gatherings! Caramelized onions bring a deep, savory sweetness, while Kerrygold cheddar and Trader Joe’s truffle dip add a luxurious twist. Topped with crispy onions and a hint of heat, it’s perfect for parties or indulgent snacking. I started making it just a few months ago, and now it’s requested every single time. Serve it warm and bubbly with crackers, chips, or veggies—and follow along to see how I turn this dip into part of another amazing dish!
