Ingredients

Scale

Mushroom Base

  • 2 cups fresh button or cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

Cheese and Cream Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Start by cleaning the mushrooms thoroughly and finely chopping them. Sauté the chopped mushrooms with minced garlic and onions until they release their moisture and become golden brown, intensifying their natural umami flavor.
  2. Mix the Cheeses and Creams: In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to create the luscious base of the dip.
  3. Combine and Add Herbs: Gently fold the sautéed mushroom mixture into the creamy cheese blend. Add the chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to brighten the flavor and impart a fresh aroma.
  4. Bake Until Bubbly: Transfer the dip into a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly, melding the flavors together and creating a warm, inviting appetizer.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Let the dip cool slightly after baking so it thickens for perfect scooping. Serve warm with your favorite dippers.

Notes

  • Dry mushrooms well before cooking to avoid a watery dip.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth mixture without lumps.
  • Don’t skip sautéing the mushrooms and onions to concentrate flavor and remove excess moisture.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to keep the dip vibrant and fragrant.
  • Serve the dip warm for the best taste experience.
