The grocery store around the corner from us almost always has Portobello mushrooms and I always try to buy them when they're on sale. I've cooked them sever different ways, baking them and sauteing them. But I wanted to try something different, so I thought I would surf the internet for a good appetizer recipe. Now, I have no interest in stuffing mushrooms. I love eating them but don't really want to make them. I came across this recipe for a dip and gave it a try. I have made it many times and I was surprised to see that I had not put it on here yet. I hope you enjoy! This is Michael's favorite of the dips that I make!
Cheesy Portobello Dip
3 Tbsp butter
1 onion, minced
3 Portobello mushrooms, diced very finely
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce
1 8 oz package cream cheese
3 Tbsp heavy cream*
salt, to taste
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Melt butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Add onions and Portobellos. Saute until they are caramelized. Reduce heat to low. Add the worcestershire, hot sauce, cream cheese, heavy cream and salt. Stir until the cream cheese is smooth and creamy. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Serve with tortilla chips or crackers. I like it best served warm.
*If you don't have heavy cream, half & half works fine!
