Today is Monday. Dreaded Monday. It’s the start of the work week, which means five full days of work ahead. Yuck. But today isn’t just any ‘ol Monday. It’s also day one of Dip Week. And I think that’s something to celebrate. I love dips and we have some of our favorite dip recipes coming up this week.
We first made this one several weeks ago. I had just gotten my wisdom teeth pulled that morning, so while I felt okay enough to cook and bake I did not feel okay enough to eat crusty bread with dip! But I do know that this was a hit! The original recipe called for onions, peppers and olives but we passed on all of them. You can definitely alter this recipe to suit your own tastes.

Here’s what you’ll need. We forgot to picture salt & pepper for the bread.

Start by cutting some bread, you’ll need this for dipping

We brushed ours with olive oil and crisped them up in the oven

Oh yeah..we also seasoned them with salt and pepper

To the cream cheese add dried oregano, basil, parsley and garlic powder; mix.

Spead it out evenly in your baking dish.

Sprinkle with mozzarella

And parm too

Now for the sauce

More cheese. The more cheese the better!

Ok this is the last time I talk about cheese. Today.

Add your sliced pepperoni

Looking warm and bubbly

Spread on bread and dig in!
