Ingredients
Pizza Dip:
8 ounces ricotta cheese
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
2/3 cup mini pepperoni
1/4 cup black olives
1 small green pepper, diced small
Fresh basil leaves, for serving
Garlic Toast:
1 loaf French bread, cut in half lengthwise
1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
4 cloves garlic, grated
Directions
- For the pizza dip: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Put the ricotta, cream cheese, sour cream, oregano and 1 cup of the mozzarella in a bowl and mix. Add to the bottom of a 9-inch round baking dish. Top with the marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella. Scatter the pepperoni, olives and green peppers over the top. Set aside.
- For the garlic toast: Put the French bread on a baking sheet cut-side up. Mix the butter, oregano and garlic in a bowl, then spread the butter mixture on top of the French bread halves.
- Bake both the dip and bread until the bread is golden and the dip is hot and bubbly, about 12 minutes.
- Slice the bread into sticks or wedges. Garnish the dip with basil and serve alongside the bread.
