Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 3 large onions, thinly sliced, and season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Increase the heat to medium and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until the onions are deep golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. If the onions stick or the pan browns too quickly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves and cook for 1 minute. Add ¼ cup dry sherry wine and simmer until evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
Step 3.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled onion mixture with 8 ounces crème fraîche, ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest. Stir until smooth. Fold in all but 1 tablespoon of the ¼ cup chopped fresh chives. Let the dip stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4.
Sprinkle the reserved 1 tablespoon chives over the dip. Serve with sliced and toasted baguette.
