Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 0.25 cup pepperoni slices, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- optional (for serving) crackers, bread, or vegetables
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended.
Add the pizza sauce to the mixture and stir thoroughly to incorporate.
Fold in the chopped pepperoni and diced green bell pepper to distribute them evenly throughout the spread.
Season the mixture with dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe bowl or an oven-safe dish if you plan to serve it warm.
Warm the spread in the microwave for 1-2 minutes (stirring halfway through) or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 minutes, until it is heated through and the cheese begins to melt. Be careful not to overheat as the cheese can become too oily.
Serve immediately with crackers, bread, or veggies for dipping. Alternatively, allow the spread to cool and serve it cold if preferred.
