Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon thyme (fresh, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 120 grams cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Clean and dice the mushrooms into small pieces.
Add the diced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and start to brown.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet with the mushrooms. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the fresh thyme and stir to combine. Cook for another minute, then remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled mushroom mixture, chopped parsley, softened cream cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Using a spoon or fork, mix everything together until well combined and creamy.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a touch more lemon juice or salt as desired.
Transfer the spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, spread on bread, sandwiches, wraps, or use as a dip for crackers or veggies.
