Tips & Substitutions
For a creamy texture, consider using cream cheese instead of sour cream; just soften it before adding. If you want a bit of heat, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can elevate the flavor. Make sure to chop the mushrooms finely for even cooking. You can also use a mix of mushrooms, like shiitake or cremini, for more complexity in flavor.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mushroom dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If the dip becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve the desired consistency.
