This recipe was inspired by the famous French onion soup served with cheese toasts. Like the soup, this sour cream and mayonnaise dip is infused with caramelized onions and thyme and boasts a vibrant, sweet and spicy flavor. To serve, toast baguette slices with grated Gruyère cheese and top with fresh endive leaves. Its slight bitterness pairs beautifully with the rich flavor of the onion dip. Before serving, let the dip sit in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the juices and flavors of the fried onions to infuse the sour milk base.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very soft and browned, about 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and Worcestershire sauce, season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the onion mixture and stir to distribute evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.

  3. Place the bread in an even layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each slice with about 1 tablespoon of grated cheese. Bake until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted, 6-8 minutes. Serve the sauce with cheese toasts and endive leaves.
