Description

What a great dip to make for those holiday gatherings when you want to serve something a little more special than usual. This dip is rich and creamy and is full of buttery sauteed mushrooms which can be served on grilled baguette slices.

Ingredients

• 1 T. butter
• 8 ox. mushrooms, diced
• 1 large cloves garlic, minced
• 2 T. dry Sherry
• 8 oz. light cream cheese, softened
• 4.5 oz. green chilies
• 2 T. green onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 t. ground black pepper
• 1 c. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• bakery French baguette, thinly sliced and grilled
• non-stick spray

Steps

1. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and sherry. Stir frequently until all liquid evaporates, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in cream cheese until smooth. Stir in chilies, green onion, and pepper. Spread mixture in an 8 inch foil pan (disposable works great) that has been lightly coated with non-stick spray. Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover and chill up to 24 hours.
2. Place disposable foil pan with dip on grid over indirect heat; cover and grill until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. If made immediately after dip is prepared, it may take only 5 minutes.
3. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve with grilled slices of bread.
