Baked Bermuda Onion Dip
Baked Bermuda Onion Dip is an old-fashioned baked cheesy onion dip best served with potato chips, crackers, or on a baked potato. It’s made of sweet onions, with 4 kinds of cheese, for the best cheesy, hot dip for any gathering!
It is no secret I love indulgent hot dips. They are always first to be devoured at every party, and we have plenty of recipes here on the blog. I mean, who doesn’t love a good onion dip? We swapped out the sour cream base for mayo, cream cheese, and 3 other kinds of cheese: sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss cheese.

Tips & substitutions:

- Swap out the cheeses for your favorite kinds.
- You can use sour cream in place of mayonnaise.
- What is a Bermuda onion? The name Bermuda onion originates from when the onions were first grown in the Bermuda Islands. It’s a large, bulb-shaped, white and yellow, drier onion that has a sweet, mild flavor.
- Can you still buy Bermuda onions? Bermuda onions are not available anymore in stores or markets, but seed is still kept for breeding purposes, and home gardeners can grow them. They are also still a patriotic favorite on the island of Bermuda. In most markets today, Bermuda onions have been replaced by various sweet onions from Texas, Washington, Peru and by Vidalia onions (my favorite).
- Serve this dip hot or cold.
