Step 1

Clean and finely chop the fresh mushrooms.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is fully melted.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, leaving the mushrooms golden brown.

Remove the skillet from heat and allow the cooked mushroom mixture to cool slightly.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Fold in the cooled mushroom mixture and fresh parsley. Mix well to combine evenly.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for added color.

Step 11

Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
