By using plant-based butter and plant-based mayonnaise, we made this delicious appetizer suitable for our guests who are dairy-free or plant-based without sacrificing any flavor. I chose a wild mushroom selection when I made it, but other mushrooms should work equally as well, although not portobello as they are too hearty for this recipe.

The mushroom sauce can be made a day ahead of time to save time for the day of your dinner.
