Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 0.5 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
- (for serving) Crusty bread, crackers, or fresh veggies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the cheese mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with a lightly golden top.
Once done, remove the baking dish from the oven. Let it cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping. Enjoy your Awesome White Pizza Dip!
