How to Make Stuffed Mushroom Dip

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the finely chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and it evaporates, about 7-8 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl and let it cool slightly. Stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley until combined and creamy.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley.
Serve warm with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor; cremini add a nice earthy depth.
Make sure to cook the mushrooms until all moisture evaporates to avoid a watery dip.
Softened cream cheese blends easier and results in a smoother texture.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick if you like heat.
Serve the dip warm for the creamiest, most melty experience.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover stuffed mushroom dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, place the dip in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months.

When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through and bubbly. You can also microwave individual servings, stirring occasionally for even heating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other types of mushrooms for this dip?

Absolutely! While cremini mushrooms are great for their flavor and texture, you can also use white button or shiitake mushrooms. Just be sure to chop them finely and cook out excess moisture.

Is this dip gluten-free?

The dip itself is gluten-free if you use gluten-free sour cream and cheeses. Just be mindful of the dippers you serve with it, like gluten-free crackers or veggies.
