Buffalo mushroom dip

Vegetarian but not vegan.

Ingredients

• 4 king oyster mushrooms
• 1 Tbsp olive oil (15mL)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 8 oz cream cheese (225g)
• 1 1-oz package Ranch dressing mix
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and optionally more for topping (200g)
• 1/2 cup Frank’s buffalo sauce (120g)

Directions

1. Shred Mushrooms: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Using two forks, shred the stems and caps roughly into pieces. Set on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
2. Bake Mushrooms: Drizzle with oil and 1 tsp of the garlic powder. Toss around to evenly coat the mushrooms, then bake for 20 minutes, or until mushrooms are a bit crispy and brown on the edges.
3. Bake Everything: Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine cooked mushrooms with all remaining ingredients. Transfer to a small casserole dish (optionally topping with more cheddar cheese) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
