Creamy Caramelized Onion Dip

I'm non certain in that place is anything to a greater extent than useful inwards the entertaining basis than a good, go-to dip recipe.  This Creamy Caramelized Onion Dip is mine.  It is an sometime favorite I'm revisiting later on our trip to Seaside.

Mike together with I had message treatments on 1 of the pelting days at the Watercolor Inn's spa.  After our services nosotros treated ourselves to dejeuner at the Inn.  We ordered Bloody Mary's together with a Mahi Mahi sandwich, but later on the bloody mary's came out together with earlier the sandwich, they brought around their "snack of the day" that happened to hold upward a caramelized onion dip served amongst amazing warm together with toasty (maybe fifty-fifty fried...?) pita wedges. 

When I made this dip inwards my catering days I would normally serve it amongst a vegetable platter.  Yes, crunchy vegetables are a dandy accompaniment to this dip, but I'll say you, toasty pita is fantastic.

The dip is starts amongst cream cheese, merely every bit all dandy dips do.  Then, sweetness caramelized onions together with a piddling rut from a pinch of cayenne pepper larn inwards thus addicting.
