Caramelized Onion Dip

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add onions to olive oil in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until onions turn a deep golden brown color. This can take as long as 20 minutes. If onions start to burn, turn the heat down to medium-low. Add balsamic and with a wooden spoon, scrape bits of the onion off the bottom of the pan. Stir in thyme and tabasco. Remove from heat. Mix together sour cream and mayo in a medium bowl. Add crumbled bacon, cheese, onion mixture, and black pepper. Mix together well and transfer to a 2-cup baking dish. Bake 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
2. Slice baguette into 3/4" - 1" slices. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with Fustini's olive oil. Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes until lightly toasted. Serve with Onion dip.
