Make this rich, cheesy Stuffed Mushroom Dip for your next gathering. It combines sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and herbs into a creamy, baked appetizer perfect for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie dish or small oven-safe skillet.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mushroom mixture cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  5. Stir the cooled mushroom and garlic mixture into the cream cheese base until fully incorporated.
  6. Spread the dip mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top. If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese topping is melted and lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving warm with crackers, baguette slices, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a make-ahead option, prepare the dip mixture up to the point of baking, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • If you prefer a meat version, brown 4 ounces of cooked, crumbled Italian sausage with the mushrooms in Step 2.
  • Serve this dip with sturdy crackers, toasted baguette slices, pita chips, or raw vegetables like celery and carrots.
