This Cheesy Mushroom Baked Pumpkin recipe has been the marker of cozy season for us thanks to my friend Neiley. The way it goes is that she invites us over for Halloween, we hang out at her front doorstep and pass out candy while her house fills with the smell of this mushroom dip. We’re wrapped in blankets, we make note of the best costumes and then we take turns walking into her house to get our fill on this dip. The men go in. Then us women. Then Neiley goes outside to continue passing out candy and then it’s just me and the men standing around taking turns spooning out mushroom goodness from a baked pumpkin.
It’s comforting. It’s warm. It’s so full of flavor. It’s like concentrated creamy mushroom soup on a crostini!
I am obsessed.
I would say I love the Halloween tradition of seeing kids in their costumes, but it’s really about this Cheesy Mushroom Baked Pumpkin.
I love when we get to the end and we can start scraping the pumpkin innards to mix with the mushroom dip! DIVINE.
