Mushrooms and Aromatics
- 8 oz fresh white or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil (for sautéing)
Dairy and Cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Herbs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (for heat)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean and finely chop the mushrooms. Heat butter or olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, developing a deep mushroom flavor.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the mushrooms. Cook until the onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant, adding layers of flavor.
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy to form the dip’s rich base.
- Combine and Season: Fold the sautéed mushroom mixture into the cheese blend. Add salt, black pepper, optional red pepper flakes, and chopped fresh herbs. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Bake Until Bubbling: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the dip is hot and bubbling.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for best texture and flavor; avoid canned or frozen.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when sautéing mushrooms — cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning.
- Let cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing for a smoother dip.
- Customize the cheese blend by trying mozzarella, Gouda, or vegan cheese alternatives.
- Serve the dip warm for the best creamy texture; reheat gently if made ahead.
