Notes
- While a variety of mushrooms will add the richest flavor with a complex taste, you can use any type of domestic or wild mushrooms you have on hand! Skip using dried mushrooms, though. Fresh white and brown button mushrooms are common mushroom varieties that most likely any grocery store will have on hand. You could also use cremini mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
- Store leftovers of your recipe for mushroom pâté in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
- While I never have any leftover mushroom pâté long enough to try freezing it, I don’t think raw mushrooms would thaw well and the cream cheese would change in texture as well. If you try, let me know in the comments!
