Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1/2 cup pepperoni slices, chopped

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Tortilla chips or sliced baguette, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese together until well blended.

      In a separate bowl, mix the marinara sauce, chopped pepperoni, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using.

        Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the bottom of a baking dish.

          Top the cream cheese layer with the marinara and pepperoni mixture, spreading it evenly across the surface.

            Sprinkle an additional sprinkle of mozzarella cheese on top for that extra cheesy touch.

              Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden on top.

                Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

                  Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

                    Serve warm with tortilla chips or sliced baguette.
