Toasted Onion Dip with Crostini

Toasted Onion Dip with Crostini

Crostini Ingredients:

1 full baguette, cut into ¼ inch slices

Olive oil, for brushing

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Toasted Onion Dip Ingredients:

1 Tbsp unsalted butter

1 small onion, finely chopped

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

½ C low-fat yogurt, such as Greek style yogurt.

½ C low-fat sour cream

2 Tbsp dried onion soup mix.

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions: To prepare the crostini, preheat the oven to 350

Lightly brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and place side by side on a baking pan. Season the tops with salt and pepper.
Bake the bread slices for 5 to 8 minutes until lightly toasted. This can be done 1 day ahead and kept at room temp.

To prepare the dip, place a small saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the onion and pepper. Cook and stir for 6 minutes until the onion is browned and caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, sour cream, onion soup mix and mustard. Mix well. Stir in the sautéed onion. Serve atop crostini or use as a dip for crudités.
