Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 8 oz fresh Cremini or white button mushrooms, cleaned and finely chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
For Sautéing
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Seasonings & Herbs
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean and finely chop the mushrooms. Heat olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat, add minced garlic and mushrooms, and sauté until tender and the moisture evaporates to deepen flavor and prevent a watery dip.
- Mix the Cheese Base: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy. Stir in grated Parmesan, chopped green onions, and your choice of herbs and seasonings.
- Combine and Season: Add the cooled mushroom mixture to the cheese base. Stir well to evenly distribute mushrooms and garlic. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake Until Golden: Transfer the dip into a baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Allow the dip to cool for a few minutes after baking to meld flavors and thicken slightly. Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for better flavor and texture compared to canned or pre-sliced.
- Don’t skip sautéing mushrooms to reduce moisture and intensify their earthy taste.
- Soften cream cheese to achieve a silky, smooth dip texture.
- Monitor baking time to prevent over-browning or drying out the dip.
- Serve warm for the best creamy, melty experience.
