It’s the day for the big reveal! If you’re just tuning in, see our post from Monday featuring Pickled Onion and Garlic, which are two key ingredients in this french onion dip bread bowl. You can’t beat this flavor you guys, it’s why we have been on such a pickling craze lately. It’s easy to do, and it’s my favorite way to revamp a traditional favorite.
And what’s more traditional than a delicious french onion soup on a cold winter day. So what do you do if your craving french onion soup but it’s too hot to even function? You make a cheesy french onion dip of course! This dip is made even better with the addition of pickled onion, pickled garlic, and a fresh bread bowl to serve it in.
We loved getting creative in choosing different ways to enjoy this cheesy dip. The best part about serving anything in a bread bowl is…well…you get to eat the damn thing! I gotta be honest, after dipping a delicious pretzel thin into the cheesy goodness, I end up just eating the bread and cheese filling in it’s entirety. Yup, that totally happened with no regrets. Feel free to stuff your face like I did, or cut up some bread and enjoy it that way too!
As this french onion dip wraps up our month of pickling, check out the list below of everything we pickled and recipes that utilized these scrumptious vinegar soaked favorites.

- 8 dinner rolls (any dinner rolls will do)
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1 large white onion, chopped
- 1/3 cup pickled white onion, chopped
- 2 cloves minced pickled garlic
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbs red wine vinegar
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature

- 6 slices thin swiss cheese, cut in half
- pretzels for dipping
Ingredients
|
|
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Carefully cut the top of each roll off, about 1/2 inch down from the top. Leaving a 1/2 inch border, hollow out each roll, saving the inside and cutting into cubes. You can also cut the top of each roll into cubes. Lay the rolls on a large baking sheet as well as the cubed insides. Spray with olive oil spray or drizzle with olive oil and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the onions and garlic to the butter and stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until the onions are fully caramelized and translucent.
- Add the broth and vinegar to the onions and stir to combine. As soon as it’s all simmering, reduce the heat to low.
- Stir in cream cheese, greek yogurt, mozzarella, and salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Spoon the onion dip mixture into each bread bowl, about 2 tablespoons per roll. The dip should be just slightly higher than the top of the opening.
- Bake uncovered for 5-6 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place half a slice of swiss over the top of each bread bowl.
- Return to the oven and switch to broil. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the swiss is bubbly and the bread is slightly browned/crisp.
- Serve immediately with the toasted bread cubes and extra pretzels for dipping.
