This was incredible and a big hit with my Thanksgiving guests. I used Vidalia onions and all Gruyère cheese. I prepared mostly ahead, as indicated, and finished it off when guests arrived. I know this dip will be a regular request!

This recipe is absolutely wonderfully delicious! And that is saying something, as I have never been a fan of French Onion Dip. I did not have fresh thyme so used a sprinkling of crushed dried, a combo of cheeses and did not add any salt at all as there is enough in the cheeses for us. It is great hot and at room temp. I had a hard time keeping from spooning it into my gob while making it! Served it on toasted bread for DH and rice crackers for me along with a bowl of Red Pepper and Tomato Soup. YUM! Thank you Ellie for another keeper/repeater! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
