How To Make Pizza Dip?
Preparing this mouthwatering pizza dip is effortless with only three easy steps.
First, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and garlic in a bowl. Season it with dried oregano, paprika, and salt. Then, fold in half of the grated parmesan cheese.
Next, transfer the cheese mixture to a baking dish, smooth out the top, and layer with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni slices. Evenly sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan cheese, and it’s ready to bake.
Finally, bake the pizza dip in a preheated oven for 15 minutes until bubbling and melty. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes more to get crispy pepperoni on top. Serve immediately with baguette slices.
Baking Tips
For the best result, please follow my tips below.
- Use an appropriate baking dish for your dip. A shallow oven-safe dish works best which allows the ingredients to cook evenly.
- Keep a close eye on your dip as it bakes. Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so check it a few minutes before the recommended time to avoid overcooking or burning.
- Broil for the perfect finish. Broil the pizza dip for a minute or two at the end, which results in a golden and slightly crispy top. Be cautious while broiling, as things can go from perfect to burnt quickly.
