Mushroom pate is a healthy, lighter vegan option of a traditional pate that is typically made with liver.

Hearty mushrooms take the place of meat and are combined with herbs which give this mushroom pate recipe an incredible umami flavor. It's the perfect appetizer for your next cocktail party, book club or any celebration.

Serve mushroom pate as a dip with a side of crusty bread, on toasted bread, as a sandwich spread, baked in puffed pastry.

Add it to pasta, stuff it into a boneless chicken breast and bake it or serve your pate as a companion to a vegetable or traditional charcuterie board

Serve mushroom pate with plain crackers
