Caramelized Onion Dip

4 cups coarsely chopped onions
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise*
1/3 cup heavy or whipping cream*
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
4 ounces (1 cup) plus 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, divided use
Potato chips for serving, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Peel and coarsely chop the onions. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and add onions. Cook until onions are caramelized, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, cream, garlic, thyme and 1 cup of cheese. When onions are done, stir them into mayonnaise mixture.

Spray one 1-quart ceramic casserole or dip dish or two ½-quart dishes with cooking oil spray.* Spread dip into dish(es), and top with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese.

Bake, uncovered, until top is golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately, with potato chips, if desired.
