Ingredients

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup grated Swiss cheese

1 1/2 cups chopped Vidalia onion

1 cup mayonnaise

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon hot sauce

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix all the ingredients. Transfer mixture to a 1-quart baking dish.

3. Bake for 25 minutes.

4. Serve hot.

Tips for Making

• You can use a food processor to chop the onion to speed things up.
• Adjust the hot sauce to your liking. I put one teaspoon in the recipe, but I like it a bit hotter, so I usually add more.
• You can substitute 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder for the two minced garlic cloves.
• Add your favorite flavors to make this delicious dip even better, like jalapeño peppers or artichoke hearts.

How to Make Crostini

I used baked crostini as the dipper, but feel free to use crackers, tortilla chips, corn chips, potato chips, pita chips, or freshly cut vegetables instead.

To make toasted crostini, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Take a day-old baguette and slice each piece about 1/4″ wide crosswise.

Brush with olive oil on each slice of the bread. Place the slices of baguette on a cookie sheet, olive oil side up, and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly toasted. Keep your eye on the toasts to make sure they don’t burn.
