Try This Mushroom Pate For The Treat You Want

For this delicious appetizer, you will need butter, mushrooms, garlic, chicken stock, cream cheese, and scallions.

You can substitute some of these ingredients if you need to. Try using margarine, garlic powder, vegetable stock, vegan cream cheese, and chives.

The mushrooms in this recipe give the illusion of real pate, but you will not be using anything inhumane and you can get tons of flavors. Plus, mushrooms are extremely healthy, as they have vitamins and minerals, and are high in fiber.

To begin making this pate, heat the butter over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms with scallions and garlic for a few minutes. You can then stir in the stock and cook everything over high heat until it thickens and reduces.

Get your blender or food processor ready and combine butter with cream cheese. Blend these two until they are smooth. Add the mushroom mixture and blend everything. Season everything to taste and mix carefully.

You can serve your mushroom pate with a toasted French baguette or crackers. Place a scoop on a charcuterie board with cheese, prosciutto, and even a jam or jelly of your choice.

This pate is perfect for your next date at home, a dinner party, or when you just want to treat yourself. You can get the entire flavor from regular pate without the added guilt later on. Plus, you save yourself calories and fat while you are at it.
