Ingredients
- Cream cheese - this is the base for the dip.
- Sour cream - gets mixed into the cream cheese to make it more dippable. You could use Greek yogurt here too if you wanted to lighten it up a bit.
- Pizza sauce - I love using my tomato sauce, but feel free to use your favourite pizza sauce here.
- Mozzarella cheese - the stretchier, the better.
- Pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, and peppers - I was going for a supreme pizza kind of dip, but you can use any of your favourite toppings here - the possibilities are endless!
- Breadsticks - my parmesan breadsticks are great here, but you could use any kind - it's even great with tortillas chips!
How to make it
Prep the base. Preheat your oven to 350ºF then prep the base by mixing the cream cheese and the sour cream together then spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of a pie plate.
Pre-cook the toppings. The dip is heated at a low temperature, so for toasty pizza-like toppings, you'll need to pre-cook them a bit first. Heat a nonstick skillet to high heat and cook the pepperoni for a minute or two until lightly crisp, and then cook the rest of the ingredients until they are nice and roasted looking.
Complete the dip. Spread the pizza sauce over the base followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese then top with the pepperoni, mushrooms, olives and onions.
Bake and serve. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling the serve with breadsticks, tortilla chips, or your other favourite dipping snack.
