This is a fantastic warm dip that is made using smoked trout. Mild gruyere cheese and a few other ingredients results in a baked dip dish that will melt in your mouth.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté onions until they become a darker golden brown. It should take about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and sauté one more minute. Turn off heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the onion and garlic mixture with the smoked trout. Add all remaining ingredients including the sautéed garlic and onions. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Mix and transfer to a small oven safe baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and top starts to brown.
Top with extra chives after it comes out of the oven.
