Cheesy Mushroom Dip
You and your guests will want to scrape every last bit out of the bowl!
you're making mealtime meaningful.
A party isn’t complete without an amazing dip that guests absolutely rave about, and here is the recipe! We can’t get enough of this cheesy mushroom dip, and we’ve got a top-secret ingredient that makes this extra amazing: cauliflower. Cauliflower is all over the place these days, whether it’s in healthier, lightened up recipes, or just as the focal point of a dish (because people are finally realizing how great it is!) We love it here for the texture and substance it brings, but don’t tell your guests! Better to keep them guessing than to reveal all of the secret ingredients that go into this deliciously divine dip.
Whether we’re hosting a formal dinner party or a more casual get-together, this dip will easily suit our needs perfectly. One of the nice features of it is its versatility: use any mushrooms you have on hand; for a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños; skip the cauliflower all together and add a second type of mushroom or caramelized onions. At the end of the day, you can’t go wrong when you warm up cheese and serve it on toasty bread. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
