Recipe: Stuffed Mushroom Dip
Create a mouthwatering dip that is perfect for dipping crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh veggies.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound large mushrooms, stems removed and finely chopped, caps reserved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the stuffed mushrooms.
- Cook the Mushroom Mixture: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushroom stems, onion, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and all the moisture has evaporated, ensuring the filling is not watery.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom mixture with cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined into a creamy filling.
- Stuff the Mushroom Caps: Arrange the mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Generously fill each cap with the cream cheese mixture, making sure they’re well stuffed.
- Add Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle the stuffed mushrooms with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.
- Serve Warm: Once baked, serve the Stuffed Mushroom Dip warm. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, and the cheese will be deliciously melty, making it perfect for dipping.
