- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 10 to 12 slices of pepperoni
- 8 cherry tomatoes; sliced
- ⅓ cup bell peppers; chopped
- ⅓ cup portabella mushrooms; sliced
- ⅓ cup red onion; diced
- 1 cup red sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
To Serve
- 1 baguette; sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) to ensure it is ready for baking the dip evenly.
- Prepare Ricotta Mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Layer the Dip: In a pie dish, spread the ricotta mixture evenly. Then spoon the red sauce over the ricotta layer, followed by a generous layer of mozzarella cheese.
- Add Toppings: Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Then add the chopped bell peppers, sliced portabella mushrooms, diced red onion, and sliced cherry tomatoes evenly over the pepperoni.
- Bake: Place the assembled dip into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes at 400°F until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm with sliced and/or toasted baguette bread for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, toast the baguette slices before serving.
- You can substitute red sauce with your favorite marinara or pizza sauce.
- Feel free to add or swap vegetables according to preference, such as olives or jalapeños.
- Ensure the egg is well incorporated in the ricotta mixture to help bind the dip when baking.
- This dip is best served hot and fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
