Hot Ham and Cheese Dip
Description
Hot Ham and Cheese Dip features a mixture of diced ham and a medley of cheeses mixed with softened cream cheese and sautéed onions for depth of flavor. The combination of Swiss, cheddar, and provolone cheeses contributes a balanced, mellow sharpness that melts smoothly when baked. The diced onions sautéed in butter add sweetness and texture, while chives impart a subtle oniony note and color. The prepared dip is baked until the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden on top, resulting in a warm, creamy, and appetizing dish.
This dip is versatile for casual gatherings and can be served warm with crackers, chips, or small bread slices. Its rich, creamy consistency makes it satisfying for sharing and snacking. The simple assembly and short baking time make it convenient for last-minute entertaining or everyday enjoyment.
Ingredients
- 1/2 onion finely diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1-1/2 cups ham diced
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup swiss cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup provolone cheese shredded

Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden.

- Pour into an 8x8 baking dish (or leave in your skillet if it's oven proof) and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted.
- Serve with crackers, chips, or small slices of bread.
