Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh button or cremini mushrooms (about 12 oz)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or thyme), chopped
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Sauté the Mushrooms: Clean and finely chop the mushrooms. Heat olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat, add the mushrooms, and cook for 6-8 minutes until they release moisture and turn golden. Season with salt and pepper to enhance umami flavor.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and chopped green onions. Stir until smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Combine Mushrooms with Creamy Mixture: Gently fold the sautéed mushrooms and fresh herbs into the creamy mixture. The warmth of the mushrooms will soften the cream cheese slightly, creating a homogeneous and flavorful dip.
  4. Add the Topping: Sprinkle an even layer of bread crumbs mixed with a little olive oil or melted butter over the dip to create a crunchy, golden finish when baked.
  5. Bake and Serve: Transfer the dip to a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling. Let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to develop and prevent burning.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing without lumps.
  • Don’t overcook the mushrooms; just sauté until golden to keep texture and flavor.
  • Fresh herbs brighten and balance the richness of the cheese.
  • Allow the dip to rest slightly after baking for best texture.
  • Mix bread crumbs with olive oil or butter for a golden, crunchy topping.
  • Customize with different cheeses such as sharp cheddar or smoked gouda for new flavors.
