# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes all the flavors you love about stuffed mushrooms and makes them scoopable and shareable
  • The creamy base balances the mushrooms umami perfectly while staying vegetarian friendly
  • You can assemble it hours ahead then just pop it in the oven when guests arrive
02 -
  • Do not skip the step of cooking the mushrooms first, otherwise your dip will be watery and bland
  • Let the mushroom mixture cool slightly before mixing it into the cheese so the cream cheese does not melt prematurely
  • This dip thickens as it cools so serve it piping hot for the creamiest texture
03 -
  • Chop mushrooms into small, even pieces so every bite gets the perfect ratio of mushrooms to cheese
  • Use a microplane to grate the Parmesan for the smoothest incorporation
