Stuffed Mushroom Dip

Lighter, Healthier Touches

If you’re looking for a lighter version, you could use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. You can also swap out half of the cream cheese with nonfat cottage cheese. Using low-fat cheese can also help cut down on calories without sacrificing taste.

Perfect Pairings

This Stuffed Mushroom Dip pairs perfectly with toasted bread, crispy crackers, or crunchy veggie sticks. You could also serve it alongside fresh fruits, such as apple slices or grapes, for a delightful contrast.

Common Stumbles to Avoid

Make sure not to overcook the mushrooms, as they can turn mushy. Keep an eye on them while sautéing for the right texture. Also, let the cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing; it helps prevent lumps in your dip.

Storing Your Creation

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in the oven or microwave until it’s hot again. It may take a little longer in the oven to restore that creamy texture.
