In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Then add the sliced onion and stir with a spatula until all the slices are coated in butter. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crumbled gorgonzola cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and fontina cheese. Then fold in the caramelized onions. It’s not going to be perfectly smooth yet and that’s ok, you’ll give it a mix after baking! You can leave a few of the gorgonzola crumbles out to garnish the dip with later.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until it’s heated through and starting to bubble.
Remove the dip from the oven, mix it gently with a spoon, and then top with the diced bacon, pear, and chives.
Serve with your favorite crackers or toasted bread for dipping!
