Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup pepperoni slices, chopped
- 2 jalapeños, fresh, finely diced (seeded for less heat)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- tortilla chips, crackers, or bread slices (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, 3/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Add the diced jalapeños and about 3/4 of the chopped pepperoni to the mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Spread the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish or cast-iron skillet, smoothing out the top.
Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the cream cheese mixture, making sure to cover the surface.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese over the pizza sauce.
Top with the remaining chopped pepperoni and a few thinly sliced jalapeños for garnish (optional).
Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the dip to cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the top with sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or slices of bread for dipping.
