Ingredients

• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 1 piece Egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe baking dish and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sour cream until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan, and the Italian seasoning.

Step 3

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Spread the marinara sauce over the cream cheese layer. Top with the remaining shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

Step 5

Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese layer, slightly overlapping for full coverage. Set the dip aside.

Step 6

Unroll the sheets of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Brush each sheet with the melted butter and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.

Step 7

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 1-inch wide strips. Twist each strip gently and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the twists lightly with beaten egg.

Step 8

Bake the Parmesan twists for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. While the twists are baking, place the pizza dip in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove both the twists and the dip from the oven. Allow the twists to cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Sprinkle the baked pizza dip with fresh parsley for garnish and serve immediately alongside the Parmesan twists.
