For a richer flavor, use brown butter to cook the onions. Consider adding a pinch of garlic powder to the onion mixture for extra depth. If you don't have a sweet onion, you can caramelize a regular yellow onion for a similar flavor profile. Fresh dill can be used in place of dried dill, use about 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill. Monterey Jack or Colby Jack cheese can be substituted for cheddar.
