Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Herbs
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
Dairy
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Others
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 8-10 minutes until browned and tender. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute to release its aroma.
- Add Creamy Ingredients: Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese and sour cream to the skillet, stirring continuously until both are melted and fully combined into a smooth mixture.
- Incorporate Cheeses: Stir in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese along with all the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the dip becomes creamy and well blended.
- Bake the Dip: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the dip. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and golden brown on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped thyme or parsley. Serve hot with bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
Notes
- Use a cast iron or oven-safe skillet since the dip is baked in the same pan.
- For a stronger flavor, consider adding finely chopped onions or shallots during the mushroom sauté step.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier melting and smoother texture.
- This dip can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
- Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier, healthier option.
- For a vegetarian diet, confirm that cheeses used are free of animal rennet.
