Method
 

Preparation

  2. Remove from the oven and immediately dollop sour cream over the hot onions.
  3. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Serve piping hot, garnished with fresh chives if desired.

For extra flavor, try using different cheese varieties. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
