Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces ricotta cheese
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
2/3 cup mini pepperoni
1/4 cup black olives
1 small green pepper, diced small
Fresh basil leaves, for serving
1 loaf French bread, cut in half lengthwise
1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
4 cloves garlic, grated

Steps:

For the pizza dip: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Put the ricotta, cream cheese, sour cream, oregano and 1 cup of the mozzarella in a bowl and mix. Add to the bottom of a 9-inch round baking dish. Top with the marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella. Scatter the pepperoni, olives and green peppers over the top. Set aside.
For the garlic toast: Put the French bread on a baking sheet cut-side up. Mix the butter, oregano and garlic in a bowl, then spread the butter mixture on top of the French bread halves.
Bake both the dip and bread until the bread is golden and the dip is hot and bubbly, about 12 minutes.
Slice the bread into sticks or wedges. Garnish the dip with basil and serve alongside the bread.
