"Clipped from Cooking Light magazine over 10 years ago. The description stated 'Prepare the dip ahead of time and chill; broil just before serving'. Sounds like something I need to make the next time I entertain, though I will skip the dried mushrooms and just add some more fresh mushrooms and water."
