Ingredients
  

  • Vidalia onions: About 2 medium onions (roughly 3 cups), finely chopped. Their sweetness is the star.
  • Mayonnaise: 1 cup. Use a good-quality, full-fat mayo for best texture and flavor.
  • Shredded Swiss cheese: 2 cups, freshly shredded if possible for better melt.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (about 1–1.5 quarts).
  • Prep the onions: Peel and finely chop the Vidalia onions. Smaller pieces cook more evenly and make for a smoother dip.
  • Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the chopped onions, mayonnaise, and shredded Swiss cheese. Stir until evenly coated. Add a light pinch of pepper if you like.
  • Fill the dish: Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top. For extra color, you can sprinkle a little more cheese over the surface.
  • Bake: Place on the center rack and bake 25–35 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the edges are bubbling. The onions should be tender.
  • Rest and serve: Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to thicken slightly. Garnish with chopped chives if using. Serve warm with sturdy crackers, baguette slices, pita chips, or veggies.
