# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned and tender. Incorporate minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
02 - Reduce heat to low. Add softened cream cheese and sour cream to the skillet, stirring continuously until fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
03 - Mix in half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and all grated Parmesan cheese until the dip becomes creamy and well blended.
04 - Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 190°C and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the surface is bubbly and golden brown.
05 - Remove from oven, garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, and serve immediately with bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure mushrooms are cooked thoroughly to release moisture for optimal texture.
