# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • It takes everything you love about stuffed mushrooms and turns it into a dip you can scoop onto anything crisp and waiting
  • The mushroom mixture gets concentrated and umami rich in the skillet before it even meets the cheese
  • You can assemble it hours ahead and just bake when guests arrive
02 -
  • Don't rush the mushroom cooking step, letting that liquid evaporate completely is what prevents a watery dip later
  • Room temperature cream cheese eliminates lumps in your base mixture
  • Let the dip rest for about 5 minutes after baking, it sets up slightly and makes serving easier
03 -
  • Finely chop the mushrooms by hand, food processors tend to turn them into mush
  • Taste the mushroom mixture before combining with the cheeses, adjust seasoning now
  • Use a light colored baking dish so you can really see when it's golden
