Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. (227 g) cream cheese, at room temp

  • 1/2 c. sour cream

  • 1 clove garlic, grated

  • 3/4 tsp. dried oregano

  • Pinch of red pepper flakes

  • Kosher salt

  • 1/2 c. grated Parmesan, divided

  • 1/4 c. pizza sauce or marinara sauce

  • 2 oz. (57 g) mini pepperoni slices

Method:

STEP 1:

Heat oven to 200°C. In medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold in 1 cup mozzarella and all but 2 tablespoons Parmesan.

STEP 2:

Transfer mixture to shallow broiler-safe 1-quart baking dish. Top with pizza sauce; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan, then pepperoni. Bake until bubbling and cheese is beginning to brown, about 15 minutes, broiling 1 to 2 minutes, if needed. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve with baguette slices for dipping.

Use a mini cookie cutter to slice pepperoni into lovable shapes. Perfect for your valentine!
