Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese softened
- ½ cup full-fat sour cream
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded and divided
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 14 ounces pizza sauce like Classico
- 12-15 slices pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a cast-iron skillet.
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, oregano, and minced onion until smooth.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared cast-iron skillet.
- Top with half of the mozzarella cheese and all the Parmesan cheese.
- Pour the pizza sauce over the cheese, spreading it into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce and top with pepperoni slices.
- Place the skillet in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling. Then broil on high until the cheese has browned and the pepperoni starts to get crispy around the edges.
- Let the dip sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Full-fat dairy ingredients are best for this recipe.
- Don’t mistake marinara sauce for pizza sauce! Pizza sauce is thicker and has more seasonings than marinara.
- Use freshly shredded cheese, as it melts so much better than pre-shredded cheese.
- Adjust the amount of cheese used based on the size of the skillet. Larger skillets will have more area to cover, but smaller skillets require less cheese. I used a 10 1/4 inch cast iron skillet.
- Keep a close watch when broiling. It can turn from golden to burnt in a minute.
- Store leftovers inside the same skillet it's cooked in wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To reheat leftovers, heat it on the stove over low heat until it's warm and melted again.
