What Kind of Mushrooms Work Best in a Dip Like This?

Cremini mushrooms are the best all-around choice for this dip because they have more flavor than white button mushrooms but are still budget-friendly. However, if you really want to elevate things, go for a mix of wild mushrooms or even chopped portobellos for a meatier texture. Just be sure to cook them down properly to release their moisture and concentrate their flavor before mixing into the dip.

Ingredients for the Stuffed Mushroom Dip

The key to making this dip delicious is layering rich, earthy flavors with creamy and cheesy elements. Each ingredient plays an essential role in capturing the essence of stuffed mushrooms in every bite.

• Cremini mushrooms
• Garlic
• Shallots
• Cream cheese
• Sour cream
• Parmesan cheese
• Mozzarella cheese
• Olive oil
• Fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper

Cremini mushrooms bring a deeper, umami-packed flavor compared to white mushrooms. Garlic and shallots enhance that earthiness with aromatic depth. Cream cheese and sour cream create a luscious, creamy base, while parmesan and mozzarella give the dip its gooey, cheesy stretch and salty tang. A splash of olive oil helps sauté the mushrooms and lock in flavor. Fresh parsley adds brightness at the end, and a touch of salt and pepper balances the whole thing.

How To Make the Stuffed Mushroom Dip

Step 1: Sauté the Mushrooms

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped cremini mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and all their moisture has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Mix the Creamy Base

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and grated parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy. Fold in the cooked mushroom mixture and half the mozzarella.

Step 3: Assemble the Dip

Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top. Add an extra sprinkle of parmesan if desired.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and lightly golden.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven, top with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot with baguette slices, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

How to Serve and Store This Stuffed Mushroom Dip

This dip is best enjoyed warm and freshly baked, when the cheese is gooey and the flavors are at their peak. It feeds around 6 to 8 people as an appetizer, depending on your serving size. Serve it straight out of the oven in the baking dish to keep it hot, or transfer it to a small fondue pot or warmer if you want to keep it molten longer.

To store leftovers, let the dip cool completely and transfer it to an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or microwave in short bursts for quick snacking. Just be aware that reheating might thicken the dip, so adding a splash of cream or milk can help restore its original creamy texture.
