At New Year's parties, guests can be charmed with dips that will blow your mind. Caramelized onion dip, baked feta dip or cold-smoked dip may become the hits of the evening.
Crisps and a delicious dip are guaranteed to be offered to dinner guests. After Christmas, you can also use leftover soft cheeses for dips. For example, brie cheese makes a tasty dip when you chop it into a bowl and beat the cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Brie cheese creates a suitable foam in about 2–5 minutes. A small splash of whipped cream helps if the foam becomes too thick.
You can dip baguettes, vegetables or even grapes into the foamed cheese.

The combination of salty and sweet in onion dip is like a match made in heaven.
Cold smoke paste is perhaps one of the most loved dipping sauces for parties. The same ingredients also make a great dip.
The sauce mixed with fresh cheese and sour cream is spread on a flat serving plate. Place small pieces of cold-smoked salmon, red onion, dill, capers and lemon peel on top. If there is a small amount of roe left over from Christmas, it is definitely worth spooning it over the dip.
You can serve chips, crispy baguette or island bread.
Caramelized The combination of salty and sweet in the onion dip is like a match made in heaven.
In this American recipe, sweet pan-fried onions give a deep flavor to the French cream-based dip. Both chips and vegetables are suitable companions for the sauce.
Third a delicious alternative is created from feta. Just ask the Greeks: oven-roasted feta is the greatest snack. It's not a dip according to the most traditional definition, but right out of the oven, the texture is so soft that it's easy to dip vegetables, chips or baguettes into it.
This warm dip is like a risotto – it doesn't wait for the diners, but the diners should sit at the table and wait for the delicacy to be ready. If there's any dip left over, it's delicious even later on top of Patong.
