4. Transfer to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Top with extra Gruyere.

6. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving with bread, chips, or veggies.
Notes
Let the onions caramelize slowly for the richest flavor.
Use room temperature cream cheese for easy mixing.
Sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking for a deeper crust.
