Skillet Pizza Dip
Description
Skillet Pizza Dip begins by tossing frozen dinner rolls in a mixture of melted butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, then arranging them around the skillet edge and letting them thaw. Meanwhile, the creamy dip is prepared by combining whipped cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and part of the mozzarella. This mixture is layered in the skillet with pizza sauce, pepperoni slices, and the remaining cheese, creating a multi-layered dip anchored by the buttery, garlicky bread surrounding it.
The garlic butter softens the rolls and adds a flavorful crust as they bake together with the cheesy pizza dip. The result offers warm, gooey cheese and sauce for dipping, matched with pull-apart rolls balanced by herbs and spices.
The recipe notes that dinner roll counts and brand types can vary; leftover rolls can be frozen or baked as instructed. Whipped cream cheese is used to help blend the dip easily, but softened block cream cheese also works with extra mixing.
Ingredients
For Dinner Rolls
- 12 dinner rolls frozen
- 4 tablespoon butter unsalted and melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
For Dip
- 8 ounce cream cheese whipped
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup pizza sauce store bought
- 1 tick pepperoni sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray, if required. At this time you can take out the frozen dinner rolls from the freezer, they do not need to be thawed out.
- Whisk together the butter, garlic, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Roll the frozen bread rolls through the butter mixture then arrange them around the outside of the edge of the skillet. Cover with a clean tea towel and let the bread rolls thaw out for about 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, in a medium size bowl add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese and mix well using a spatula until everything is well combined. Add about 1½ cups of the Mozzarella cheese to the mixture and mix to combine.
- Spoon about half of the cheese mixture into the center of the skillet and spread it. Add the pizza sauce and spread it over the cheese mixture then spoon the rest of the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining half cup of mozzarella cheese then top with the pepperoni slices.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the bread rolls are baked and golden brown and the pizza dip is hot and bubbly.
- Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Adjust the number of rolls to fit your skillet size; extra rolls can be frozen or baked separately.
- Use whipped cream cheese for easier mixing, or soften block cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature before preparing the dip.
