• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)

¾ cup Sour Cream (can sub mayo)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon Oregano

½ teaspoon Basil

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (plus more for topping)

1 cup Marinara Sauce

¼ cup Parmesan Cheese (finely grated)

1 ¼ cups Mozzarella Cheese

15 slices Pepperoni

Crusty Bread (for serving)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Ideally, the sour cream shouldn’t be cold when it goes into the oven to maintain a smooth consistency. Spread on the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate, baking pan, or cast iron skillet.

Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce on top, then add the Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese.

Add pepperoni or desired pizza toppings.

Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until the top begins to brown.

Optional: Garnish with additional red pepper flakes, freshly ground pepper, and roughly chopped parsley.

Serve with crusty bread, pita/tortilla/bagel chips, or vegetables.
