Equipment

  • 1 quart rectangular baking dish

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (250 grams) cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups pizza sauce
  • 6 ounces (175 grams) mozzarella cheese broken into small pieces
  • 8 sliced pepperoni chopped into small pieces
  • 1 baguette for serving

Instructions

  • Soften the cream cheese at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 400°F (210°C). Add cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, dried oregano, paprika, and salt in a large bowl and combine them well with a spatula. Fold in half of the grated parmesan cheese.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 1-quart rectangular baking dish, and even it out with a spatula. Top it with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni slices. Sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan cheese to finish. Bake it for 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and melting. Broil for another 1 to 2 minutes to get a nice caramelization on top. Remove from the oven and serve with baguette.

Notes

Tips:
  1. Use an appropriate baking dish for your dip. A shallow oven-safe dish works best which allows the ingredients to cook evenly.
  2. Keep a close eye on your dip as it bakes. Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so check it a few minutes before the recommended time to avoid overcooking or burning.
  3. Broil for the perfect finish. Broil the pizza dip for a minute or two, which results in a golden and slightly crispy top. Be cautious while broiling, as things can go from perfect to burnt quickly.
