Ingredients
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/4 cup of chopped scallions
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and thinly slice them. Finely chop the scallions and mince the garlic.

Notes
- Experiment with different mushroom varieties for added flavor and texture.
- Consider adding shredded cheese, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyere, for a more indulgent dip.
- Roasting the garlic before mincing can enhance the flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or thyme for extra color and taste.
- Serve with fresh vegetables as a healthier option.
- The dip can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake or microwave.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Do not freeze.
