Ingredients

For the Dip Base

1 cup sour cream use full-fat for creaminess
1 cup mayonnaise preferably full-fat
1 cup cream cheese softened to room temperature

For the Flavoring

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce adds depth of flavor
1 teaspoon garlic powder for a robust garlic flavor
1 teaspoon onion powder to enhance onion flavor
1 teaspoon paprika adds color and mild spice
1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground for best flavor
1 teaspoon salt to taste

For the Garnish

1 cup green onions finely chopped for freshness
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy topping

Instructions

Prepare the Dip Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and softened cream cheese. Use a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This step is crucial as it ensures a uniform texture for the dip.

Add Flavorings

Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt to the dip base. Whisk again until all ingredients are well incorporated. This will infuse the dip with a rich, savory flavor.

Incorporate Garnishes

Fold in the finely chopped green onions and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the dip mixture. This adds a fresh crunch and a cheesy element to the dip.

Serve

Transfer the dip to a serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top for garnish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with tortilla chips, pita bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy your delicious blooming onion dip!

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the dip mixture. Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for easier mixing.
