You can’t go wrong with a good dip. They are great any time of year and great for any occasion. Chilled dips are perfect for a summer BBQ. Warm and spicy dips are great for an autumn weekend tailgate or dinner party. They are usually simple to put together, can be made way ahead of time, and are almost always a crowd pleaser. This everything but the bagel (EBTB) french onion dip is the perfect dip to serve anytime of year. Caramelized onions are the star of the show, but EBTB seasoning and bacon bring in a ton of flavor and texture. This one will be devoured in seconds, so you might as well make two batches. :)

Where can I buy EBTB seasoning?

While most admit EBTB seasoning originated at Trader Joe’s, you can find it just about anywhere now. I see it at Walmart, Safeway, and even our local co-op. It’s also very easy to make if you can’t find it. Simply combine poppy seeds, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, onion flakes, and coarse sea salt: all things you can very easily find at your local grocer. This stuff is great on eggs, avocado toast, and of course…this french onion dip.

How do I know if my onions have been caramelized?

Oh, you’ll know. You just have to be patient. The key is medium-low heat after an initial sauté, and letting it go for a few minutes before stirring. It will usually take me between 20-30 minutes before it reaches the consistency I prefer. It will start to brown I promise.

Can I use something other than white wine?

If you are opting to not use white wine, then I would go with a light chicken or vegetable broth. Allow it to evaporate just like you would if you were to use wine.

How many days in advance can I make this dip?

For best results and if serving guests, I wouldn’t make it more than a day in advance for ultimate freshness. With that being said, this dip will keep in the fridge for about a week, so if you’re just making it for yourself to snack on, you can certainly make it a few days in advance.
