Ingredients

- ½ teaspoon basil
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes plus more for topping
- 1 cup marinara sauce

- 1 ¼ cups mozzarella cheese
- 15 lices pepperoni

Instructions

- Combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Ideally, the sour cream shouldn’t be cold when it goes into the oven to maintain a smooth consistency. Spread on the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate, baking pan, or cast iron skillet.
- Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on top, then add the Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese.
- Add pepperoni or desired pizza toppings.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until the top begins to brown.
- Optional: Garnish with additional red pepper flakes, freshly ground pepper, and roughly chopped parsley.
- Serve with crusty bread, pita/tortilla/bagel chips, or vegetables.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Method:
- Pro Tips:
- Assemble the dip as outlined. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days prior to baking.
- When ready to bake, let it sit out for 20-25 minutes. Then bake as outlined.
- I recommend that you grate the Parmesan and shred the mozzarella from a block for best taste and consistency.
- I love using Rao’s marinara sauce or my homemade marinara for this recipe.
- Additional topping options for this dip include sausage, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, onions, sliced tomatoes, beef, ham, pineapple, feta, and more!
- Sour Cream substitutes include mayo, plain Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese.
- My No Knead Bread is perfect for dipping into this, it's crusty on the outside and light & airy on the inside!
