Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 8-10 minutes until they are browned and tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute to release its aroma.
  2. Add Cream Cheese and Sour Cream: Reduce heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese and sour cream to the skillet. Stir continuously until the mixture melts and combines fully, creating a creamy base.
  3. Incorporate Cheeses: Stir in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese along with all of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheeses melt and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Bake the Dip: Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden and slightly crispy.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped thyme or parsley. Serve the dip hot alongside bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • You can use either olive oil or butter for sautéing mushrooms, depending on your preference.
  • For a stronger flavor, try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing the mushrooms.
  • This recipe works well with other fresh herbs such as rosemary or chives if thyme or parsley isn’t available.
  • To make this dip ahead, prepare through step 3, refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet or any oven-safe skillet to transfer from stovetop to oven easily.
  • For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
