Super Easy Stovetop Cheesy Mushroom Dip

1.Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have released their moisture and started to brown.

2.Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3.Remove the skillet from the heat. The mixture should cool slightly while preparing the cheese base.

4.In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the Gruyère cheese, mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons of the provided Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

5.Fold the mushroom mixture into the cheese mixture until everything is evenly combined.

6.Return this mixture to the same skillet and place over low heat. Stir constantly until the dip is hot and completely melted together.

7.Once hot, remove from heat immediately. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Gruyère cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the top. Let sit for 2 minutes for the top cheese to melt slightly from residual heat.

8.Serve immediately directly from the skillet (ensure guests know it is hot) with tortilla chips or crackers.
