Ingredients

For bacon-onion jam

2 cups diced Goldies^™ yellow onions
4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)

For dip

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup prepared cooled bacon-onion jam
Crackers, toasted baguette and/or fresh vegetables, for serving

Directions

1. For bacon-onion jam, in large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of rendered drippings and return drippings and skillet to burner.

2. Add onion and salt; stir to coat with drippings. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until onions are very soft and begin to turn golden, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in vinegar, sugar and thyme; simmer 5 minutes. Transfer jam to plate to cool completely. (Jam may be made up to 5 days ahead and chilled. You will not need entire batch for dip — use extra jam as a condiment on sandwiches, pizza, eggs or cheese board.)

3. For dip, preheat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, blend cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, cayenne, Worcestershire and 1/2 cup Parmesan using an electric mixer or wooden spoon. Fold in 1/2 cup cooled bacon-onion jam. Transfer dip to small shallow baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan on top of dip and bake until hot, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately with crackers, toasted baguette and vegetables.
