Ingredients

• 300 grams Mixed forest mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster, or porcini)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 60 milliliters Dry white wine
• 120 grams Cream cheese, softened
• 120 grams Sour cream
• 40 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and roughly chop them into small pieces.

Step 2

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chopped mushrooms and thyme to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet with dry white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let the wine cook off for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the mushroom mixture to a food processor and pulse until roughly blended but still a bit chunky.

Step 8

Add the cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese to the food processor. Process until smooth and well combined.

Step 9

Season the dip with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 10

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
