Skillet Buffalo Chik’n Dip

Start to finish: 45 minutes  |  Servings: 8-10

Ingredients:

¾ cup Frank’s® RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
12 ounces silken tofu
8 ounces vegan cream cheese, such as Miyoko’s
4 ounces vegan butter, such as Miyoko’s, softened
½ cup nutritional yeast
½ cup vegan chicken stock
2 teaspoons tapioca starch
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley
¼ teaspoon garlic granules
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup vegan cheddar shreds, plus more for sprinkling
1 pound king oyster mushrooms
Scallions to garnish

Chef Reid TrapaniDirections:

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Trim the bottoms off the mushrooms (½ – 1”) to remove any tough parts. Remove the caps and set aside for another meal, such as stir-fry. Shred the mushroom stems with a fork until a “pulled chicken” consistency is reached. Place mushrooms on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Once cooked, the mushrooms should be slightly watery and not al dente.

In a high-speed blender, add everything except for the cheddar shreds, mushrooms and scallions, and blend until smooth. Heat a cast-iron skillet and add the blended mixture. Stir until it begins to bubble.

Add the cheddar shreds and mix for ~2 more minutes as they begin to melt. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and mix until combined. Turn off heat and sprinkle cheddar shreds over the top. Broil in oven at 450 F for ~5 minutes. Top with extra shreds and serve with your favorite dippers!
