Pizza Dip

I posted a picture last night and had immediate requests for the recipe. Ask and you shall receive ;)

Jay and I are cutting out carbs for a bit, and my sweet boy was craving pizza like nothing else. Of course we've done a LOT of cauliflower pizza and it's good, but I wanted something that didn't feel so good for me. I am by no means saying this recipe is healthy, it just gives you that feeling a good pizza gives you without having all the carbs from that delicious crust. We at it with fresh red bell peppers and it was delicious. Try it and let me know if you like it, and don't forget to tag your picture! #thingsthatmakeyousayyum

 Pizza Dip
  • 1  block cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
  • 8 ounces grated provolone cheese, 
  • 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese 
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped basil leaves
  • 1/2 small onion finely diced
  • 1/4 cup low carb pizza sauce
  • 20 pepperonis quarted
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix softened cream cheese with about 7 ounces each of provolone and mozzarella, then add parmesan. Stir in basil, garlic, and onion mixing well to combine. Transfer mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. (I used my pyrex pie dish.) Top the cheese mixture with the pizza sauce, and then the pepperoni. Sprinkle with remaining provolone and mozzarella. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until top is golden and bubbly. Serve immediately! I'm sure it would be absolutely delish served with some nice crusty bread or crackers, but as I said before it was fabulous served with fresh veggies!
