Asparagus & Mushrooms Dip / Dip de Esparragos y Champiñones

Preheat oven to 350 F
In a pan, saute the mushrooms with the Ghee and let them cool. Use a paper towel to dry all the excess water & ghee. In a medium bowl place the cream cheese at room temperature, add the 1/8 cup of the water from the asparagus's jar, the table cream can and mix everything until there are no lumps... we are going to call this the cream cheese paste.

In a recipient that you can place in the oven, start making layers in the following order: first with the cream cheese paste, then mozzarella cheese, asparagus, Parmesan cheese and mushrooms. Repeat these layers until you complete the recipient, the last layer needs to be the cream cheese paste. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. Put in the oven until the cheese is nicely brown.
Serve with small toast, french bread or salt crackers.
