Cheesy Mushroom & Spinach Dip

Ingredients

  • 500 g (17.6 oz) mushrooms (champignons), finely chopped
  • 250 g (8.8 oz) cream cheese
  • 200 g (7 oz) grated mozzarella
  • 50 g (1.8 oz) grated Parmesan (save a little for topping)
  • 20 g (0.7 oz) baby spinach
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) natural yogurt
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the finely chopped mushrooms over high heat for 5–7 minutes. Set a few aside to slice for decoration.
  • Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, mix well, then toss in the spinach for 1 more minute.
  • In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, most of the Parmesan (reserve some for topping), the yogurt, and the mushroom-spinach mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  • Transfer to a baking dish, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan, and top with the sliced mushrooms.
  • Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 15–18 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  • Serve hot. Add fresh truffle or truffle paste for an extra flavor boost.
