Ingredients

1 cup (225 g) cream cheese - at room temperature (softened) See Note 1
⅔ cup caramelised onion jam See Note 2
½ cup sour cream
2 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
freshly ground black pepper - to taste
a sprinkle of fresh thyme as a garnish - optional

Instructions

Add the softened cream cheese to a food processor, and blend until smooth.
Add remaining ingredients to the blender. Mix until well combined. Season to taste.
Place the dip in a serving dish, and garnish with fresh thyme.
Serve with your choice of biscuits, chips or crudites.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature, so it is soft enough to blend smoothly.
I use a storebought Caramelised Onion Jam in this recipe, but you could certainly use homemade.
