- 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions
- Caramelize the Onions: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent burning.

- Mix the Dip: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled onions with sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, chives, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free sour cream or cashew cream.
- Make it extra creamy by adding a bit of mayo or cream cheese.
- Spicy variation: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Enhance the flavor by deglazing the onions with a splash of white wine.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
