Notes
- Using Vidalia onions provides a mild and sweet flavor, but you can substitute with other sweet onions if unavailable.
- For extra crispiness, sprinkle additional shredded cheddar on top before baking.
- Allow the dip to cool for 5 minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth.
- Can be prepared in advance and reheated gently before serving.
- Try serving with a variety of dippers like pita chips, vegetable sticks, or toasted baguette slices.
