I found this recipe online about six months ago and have really enjoyed it. I will often buy portobellos at the neighborhood grocery store when they are on sale, so I am always on the lookout for new ways to fix them. Most of the recipes I come across use the mushrooms as entrees. I have tried several of them and have always enjoyed them.
Portobellos are a good and hearty main dish. When this one popped up in my search, though, I wanted to try it. Often when we get together with Lois for a relaxing afternoon on her porch, someone will make something snacky. I wanted to try this and we all loved it. And it's easy! Hope you will like it as well!
Creamy Portobello Mushroom Dip
3 Tbsp butter
1 onion, minced *
2 Portobello mushrooms, finely diced
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce
1 package cream cheese, softened
3 Tbsp heavy cream
salt, to taste
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add onions and portobellos. Saute' until they become soft and tender. Reduce heat. Add Worcestershire, hot sauce, cream cheese, heavy cream and salt. Stir until cream cheese is smooth and creamy. Stir in cheddar cheese until it is melted.
Serve warm with chips or crackers.
* most times I do not use an entire onion. I will take about 3 good slices and dice that. That way, the onion is not overpowering. Also, red onion is great in this!
This recipe does not take long at all to make. So, when you need a quick appetizer, this works perfectly!
Enjoy!
