Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the onions. Clean the cremini mushrooms and finely chop them. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 10-12 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, just until the garlic is fragrant. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the caramelized onion and mushroom mixture to the bowl. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake the dip uncovered for 20 minutes, or until bubbling and lightly golden on top.
Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted bread for dipping.
