Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the sliced baguette on a large sheet pan. Brush one side lightly with olive oil and season to taste with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Flip each slice and repeat on the other side. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Reduce the oven heat to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Beat with hand mixers until smooth and fully combined. Spread this mixture evenly into an 8x8-inch baking pan.
Carefully spoon the pizza sauce over the top. Add the Cheddar cheese, then the mozzarella. Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese and sprinkle with a pinch of oregano.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the cheese is golden. If desired, drizzle some hot honey and/or pesto/fresh herbs on top. Serve immediately with the garlic bread.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover pizza dip in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until warmed through. And honestly, it’s even good cold if you love cold pizza like I do.
