Ingredients
- 250 grams Mushrooms (button or cremini, finely chopped)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)

- 120 ml Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (chopped, optional)
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt

- 30 grams Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
Instructions
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the finely chopped mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Season the mushroom mixture with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme (if using), and remove it from the heat. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and the sautéed mushroom and garlic mixture. Mix until well incorporated and creamy.
If using grated Parmesan cheese, stir it into the dip for added depth of flavor.
Taste and adjust salt or pepper as needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Serve with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
