Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened (226 grams)
  • cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt or mayonnaise (164 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce (256 grams)
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese about 2 cups, divided (226 grams)
  • 15 Pepperoni slices you'll need more if you're using the mini Pepperoni

Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9 inch pie plate or 7 x 11 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and 1 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning. Spread the mixture into the prepared pie plate.
    8 ounces cream cheese, ⅔ cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Top the cream cheese mixture with the pizza sauce (or marinara sauce if you are using that).
    1 cup pizza sauce
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce and top with your desired amount of pepperoni slices.
    8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, 15 Pepperoni slices
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. If you prefer, you can broil the dip for 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese slightly.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese.
    ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Serve warm with your choice of dippers.

Notes

Serve this dip with crackers, corn chips, tortilla chips, crostini, garlic bread, or vegetables.
Storage Information: Store any leftover Pizza Dip tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing this dip.
You can reheat this dip either in the microwave or the oven on low heat. If reheating in the oven I recommend heating at 325°F and covering with foil or an oven-safe lid to prevent the cheese from over-browning.
