Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Produce

  • 1 lb fresh button or cremini mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions or chives, chopped
  • Fresh thyme, 1 tsp
  • Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Dairy & Creamy Bases

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Herbs & Spices

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper or jalapeño for spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp towel to avoid excess moisture. Remove the stems and finely chop them for mixing into the dip.
  2. Sauté the mushroom stems: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the chopped mushroom stems and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant to build a savory base.
  3. Mix the creamy base: In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise or sour cream, and freshly grated Parmesan until smooth. Fold in the cooled mushroom mixture, chopped green onions, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Transfer and bake: Spread the mixture into a baking dish or fill hollowed mushroom caps for bite-sized servings. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley. Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • Do not over-wet the mushrooms to prevent a watery dip; clean gently and sauté thoroughly.
  • Allow cream cheese and mayonnaise to come to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and richer flavor.
  • Taste the mixture before baking to adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • Serve the dip warm to enhance its creamy texture and flavor.
