Asiago Cheese Dip
Ingredients
-
1 cup chicken broth or water
-
4 ounces dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
-
2 (16-ounce) cartons dairy sour cream
-
1 ½ cup finely shredded Asiago cheese (6 ounces)
-
1 ¼ cup mayonnaise
-
½ of an (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cut up
-
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms or 1 ounce rehydrated dried mushrooms (such as porcini, shiitake, chanterelle, and/or oyster)*
-
1 cup thinly sliced green onions
-
Thinly sliced green onions
-
Baguette-style French bread slices, topped with finely shredded Asiago cheese and toasted
Directions
-
In a small saucepan, bring broth to boiling. Remove from heat. Add dried tomatoes; cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain, discarding liquid. Chop tomatoes (you should have about 1-1/4 cups).
-
Meanwhile, in a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker, combine sour cream, the 1-1/2 cups Asiago cheese, the mayonnaise, cream cheese, mushrooms, and the 1 cup green onions. Stir in chopped tomatoes.
-
Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours or on high-heat setting for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir well before serving. If desired, keep warm in the slow cooker on low-heat setting for up to 2 hours. Sprinkle dip with additional green onions and serve with toasted cheese-topped baguette slices. Makes 7 cups.
Test Kitchen Tip:
To rehydrate dried mushrooms, place the dried mushrooms in a small bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover; let stand for 30 minutes. Drain mushrooms, squeezing out any excess liquid. Coarsely chop mushrooms.
Test Kitchen Tip:
To toast bread slices, preheat broiler. Place bread slices on a large baking sheet. Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until toasted, turning once.
