Ingredients

1 ¼ cups finely chopped sweet onions (such as Vidalia or Maya)

1 garlic clove, minced

¼ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream

½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Tabasco sauce, to taste (optional)

⅛ teaspoon curry powder, to taste (optional)

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

⅛ teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika or dried ancho chile powder

1 tablespoon chopped green onion, for garnish 

Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: In a bowl, mix together the onions, garlic, mayonnaise, yogurt or sour cream, cheddar, and Tabasco (and curry powder, if using).

Step 3: Spread into a lightly pan sprayed small-ish baking dish.

Step 4: Top with Parmesan and sprinkle with paprika to taste. (Ground ancho chile powder can be substituted for the paprika, for a little more kick. I prefer the ancho.).

Step 5: Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onion (scallion).

Step 6: Serve hot or warm with crackers, bread, or raw veggie dippers.
