Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Hummus
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dice the red bell pepper into small cubes.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the pepper softens slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hummus, sautéed red bell peppers (reserve a small portion for garnish if desired), paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Transfer the hummus mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Top the hummus with the shredded mozzarella cheese in an even layer, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with the reserved red bell peppers and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
