Preparation Method Steps:
- Caramelize the onions: Slice the onions thinly and heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and golden-brown (about 45 minutes).
- Add the flavorings: Stir in the brown sugar, white wine, beef broth, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid has mostly evaporated (about 30 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the dip: In a medium bowl, combine the caramelized onions, sour cream, mayonnaise, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
