Instructions

  1. Prepare Onions: Chop the 16-ounce jar of cocktail onions, drained well, into smaller bite-size pieces and set aside.
  2. Toast Breadcrumbs: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter. Once melted, add 1 cup panko breadcrumbs along with ½ teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir continuously until the breadcrumbs turn a golden brown color. Remove the toasted breadcrumbs from the skillet and transfer half to a bowl.
  3.

Use a hand mixer to blend all ingredients until smooth and well combined.
  4. Transfer and Chill: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. If not serving immediately, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, top the dip with the remaining toasted breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of dried parsley for garnish. Enjoy the creamy, crunchy appetizer!

Notes

  • For best flavor and texture, use fresh panko breadcrumbs and toast them until golden brown.
  • If you prefer a spicier dip, increase the cayenne pepper to taste.
  • This dip can be made a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator—just add the breadcrumbs right before serving to keep them crispy.
  • Feel free to substitute cocktail onions with finely chopped green onions or shallots for a slightly different taste.
  • Refer to the FAQ for ingredient substitutions and common questions.
