Wow! This onion dip is not your typical out of the package dip. Instead, you pretty it up with a scooped-out ball of Gouda cheese. No kidding! Because it’s so beautifully self-contained, it travels well when you want to take this as an appetizer to a party. Not only that, but your friends will be bowled over by the presentation and the great flavor. There will be no leftovers!
What you’ll need:
– one 10-oz ball of imported Gouda cheese
– 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
– 1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)
– 4 oz roquefort cheese (crumbled)
– 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese (finely grated)
– 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
– 3 drops of hot pepper sauce
– 1 tsp whole-grain mustard
– 4 Tbsp dark beer or stout
With a sharp knife, cut the top to make a lid from the Goulda cheese ball, about 1 inch thick. Save the lid. Hollow out the cheese without cutting through the wall of the ball. The wall should be as thin as you can make it on all sides. Take the reserved Gouda cheese and grate it and set aside.
In a small skillet, heat 2 Tbsp of the butter over...
