Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Heat the butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the diced shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped wild mushrooms to the skillet and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Fold the sautéed mushroom mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Add the shredded smoked Gouda, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully combined.

Step 7

Transfer the dip mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
