Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the Oil: In a non-stick skillet, pour in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and set your burner to medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about a minute, watching for a shimmering surface.
Sauté the Onions: Add 2 diced onions to the skillet and stir them gently to coat with the oil. Sauté for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, stirring regularly until they turn translucent and slightly golden.
Add Thyme: Once the onions are caramelized, stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves and sauté together for another minute.
Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups of sour cream, ½ cup of mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until smooth.
Incorporate the Onions: Gradually add the sautéed onions and thyme mixture to the creamy base, whisking until fully incorporated.
Season the Dip: Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Chill and Meld Flavors: Refrigerate the dip for at least 3 hours to allow flavors to meld.
Serve with Style: Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Enjoy with potato chips, veggies, or crackers.

This dip tastes even better when made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
