My very favorite recipe for pizza dip. Loaded with your favorite pizza toppings, this lightened-up pizza dip comes together in a snap and is gobbled up even quicker.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces (226g) low-fat or full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat or low fat)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup pizza sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1–2 Tablespoons sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup pepperoni slices
- 2 Tablespoons grated parmesan
- ground basil, to taste
- ground oregano, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, cake pan, or similar size casserole dish.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the cream cheese layer. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese. Top with olives and pepperoni, then sprinkle with grated parmesan. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with basil and oregano. Serve hot with your favorite chips, raw veggies, pita wedges, etc. Cover any leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
