Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, petite diced
- 1 cup pepperoni, diced
- 12 oz cream cheese, softened (1 1/2 blocks)
- 1 oz ranch seasoning mix (such as Hidden Valley)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 10 slices pepperoni (for topping)
- Fresh basil, chiffonade, for garnish
- Tortilla chips, potato chips, pita bread, or breadsticks (for dipping)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until tender.
- Add diced pepperoni and cook for 2 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Mix in softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning until well combined.
- Spread the mixture in the skillet and top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
- Broil in the oven until the cheese melts and is golden, about 1 minute.

Notes
Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing.
Freshly shredded mozzarella melts better than pre-packaged options.
Watch the broiler closely to avoid burning.
