Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1/4 cup (15 grams) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, gently sautéing mushrooms until they release moisture and become tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Blend cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Fold the caramelized mushrooms into the creamy base, ensuring even distribution of ingredients throughout the dip.
- Transfer the dip to a serving dish, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, aromatic finish.
- Accompany the dip with crisp crackers or thinly sliced, lightly toasted baguette rounds for an elegant appetizer presentation.
Notes
- Elevate the flavor by using a mix of wild mushrooms like shiitake, cremini, and oyster for a more complex taste profile.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese with low-fat or Greek yogurt cream cheese to reduce calories without sacrificing creaminess.
- Enhance the dip’s texture by gently folding in some roughly chopped sautéed mushrooms for added bite and visual appeal.
- Make it gluten-free by serving with gluten-free crackers or vegetable sticks like cucumber and bell pepper slices.
