Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh cremini or button mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Variations

  • Finely chopped jalapeños or 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for spice
  • Vegetable broth (for vegetarian sautéing)
  • Fresh herbs like thyme, basil, or parsley
  • Cashew cream and vegan cheeses for a vegan version
  • Toasted breadcrumbs or chopped nuts for extra crunch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean mushrooms with a damp cloth to avoid water absorption, then chop finely. Sauté in olive oil or butter over medium heat for about 7-8 minutes, until mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
  2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and sour cream or Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all cheeses are well incorporated.
  3. Add Flavor Boosters: Stir in the sautéed mushrooms, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, smoothing the top evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Allow the dip to sit for a few minutes post-baking to set slightly. Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh veggie sticks.

Notes

  • Dry mushrooms thoroughly during cooking to avoid a soggy dip.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing without lumps.
  • Add minced garlic after mushrooms have softened for a pronounced garlic flavor.
  • Let the dip cool slightly after baking to thicken and make scooping easier.
  • Adjust mozzarella and Parmesan cheese amounts to customize gooeyness and sharpness.
