2

In a mixing bowl, combine the crème fraîche and mascarpone cheese. Mix them together until smooth and well incorporated.

3

Season the dip by adding Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine.

4

Add half of the caramelized onions and shallots to the dip and mix well.

5

Before serving, add the remainder of the caramelized onions and shallots on top of the dip and garnish with chives. Finish the dip with additional sea salt if desired.
