Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 5 shallots cut in half lengthwise & sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- pinch salt & pepper
- 6 ounces dairy-free Boursin
- 1 cup vegan mozzarella I used Trader Joe's
- 1/2 cup vegan mayo
- 1/4 cup non-dairy yogurt unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- grated vegan parmesan I used Follow Your Heart
- parsley optional, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots. Once they start sizzling, turn the heat down to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the brown sugar, vinegar, salt & pepper. Cook for another 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a ramekin.
- Add the Boursin, mozzarella, mayo, yogurt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and most of the shallots to a bowl. Mix to combine. Transfer to the ramekin. Sprinkle with vegan parmesan and top with the remaining shallots. Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and place on the oven on the center rack. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Turn the oven to broil for the last couple minutes to get the top nice and brown.
- Remove from the oven, top with parsley and serve with bread or chips.

Notes
- I have seen the dairy free Boursin at Trader Joe’s & Target. If you can’t find it, I would recommend using Kite Hill chive cream cheese.
- To make ahead of time, prep everything and add it to the ramekin. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to bake.
