Pizza Dip
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 c. sour cream
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 3/4 tsp. dried oregano
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt
- 6 oz. mozzarella cheese, coarsely grated, divided
- 1/2 c. grated Parmesan, divided
- 1 1/4 c. pizza or marinara sauce
- 2 oz. mini pepperoni slices
- 1 baguette, warmed and sliced
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and 12 teaspoon salt in a medium mixing basin. 1 cup mozzarella and all but 2 tablespoons Parmesan are folded in.
- Place the mixture in a shallow 1-quart baking dish. Top with pizza sauce, then the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan, followed by the pepperoni. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese begins to brown and the sauce is bubbling, adding 1 to 2 minutes of broiling time if necessary. Allow for a 5-minute pause before serving. Serve with slices of bread for dipping.
