Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.

Fold in the caramelized onion mixture, chives, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serve with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
