Smoked Oyster Dip

My Dear Darling husband has been asking me to develop this one for a while now and I finally have a recipe that he loves. This one is easy and packed full of flavor. I served it with garlic crostini, but it would be delicious with a cracker or pita chips too!

Ingredients

1/2 small onion, very finely minced
8 oz. white mushrooms, diced
8 oz. veggie cream cheese
1/3 c. sour cream
1/3 c. mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. hot sauce
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. lemon juice
3 green onions, whites diced and green tops sliced for garnish
2 cans smoked oysters, diced


Directions

1. In a small skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil (I use a garlic infused olive oil that I make and keep in my fridge at all times) and 2 Tbsp. butter over low heat. 
2. Add the minced onion (not the green onion) and sweat until translucent. 
3. Add the mushrooms and saute until the mushrooms are soft. Set aside to cool.
4. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth (well, as smooth as it can be with the veggies in it).
5. Add Worcestershire, hot sauce, kosher salt, garlic powder, diced green onions, and lemon juice and combine well.
6. Add the diced oysters (you want them to be about the same size as your diced mushrooms).
7. Stir in the cooled onion and mushroom mixture.
8. Refrigerate until chilled all the way through. Garnish with the green onion tops and serve.
