How to Make Baked Pepperoni Pizza Dip

  9. Let cool slightly before serving with tortilla chips, breadsticks, or your favorite dippers.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
