Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by microwaving for 20 seconds, then stir until smooth.

Spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the bottom of an oven-safe 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.

Step 4

Layer the pizza sauce evenly over the cream cheese base.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce, followed by the Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Evenly arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni slices.

Step 8

Season the top of the dip with Italian seasoning and optional red pepper flakes for a slight kick.

Step 9

Place the dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves if desired, and serve warm with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable dippers.
