Stuffed Mushroom Dip: The Perfect Appetizer

This Stuffed Mushroom Dip is a creamy, cheesy appetizer that combines sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and Parmesan for a deliciously savory treat. Perfect for parties and gatherings, it pairs well with crackers, bread, or fresh veggies.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it’s hot and ready by the time you’ve prepared your dip.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once it’s shimmering, toss in the finely chopped mushrooms, onions, and minced garlic. Sauté them until the mushrooms release their moisture and the mixture turns a beautiful golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. This step is crucial for bringing out the deep, savory flavors of the mushrooms.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth. This is the base of your dip, so make sure it’s well blended and creamy.
  4. Stir in the sautéed mushroom mixture, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This is where all the flavors come together, so take a moment to enjoy the aroma!
  5. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread it out evenly. This ensures even cooking and a nice golden top.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the dip is heated through. The bubbling cheese and golden breadcrumbs on top will signal that it’s done.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the mushroom mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just mix it with the other ingredients and bake when you’re ready.
  • Variations: Feel free to add a bit of spinach or artichokes for a twist. You could even sprinkle some mozzarella on top for an extra cheesy layer.
  • Serving Suggestions: This dip pairs wonderfully with sliced baguettes, pita chips, or even some crunchy fresh veggies like bell peppers and cucumbers.
