This recipe is a keeper! My roommate and I almost ate the entire thing in one sitting! oops....the secret is out. This is an excellent appetizer for one of those "everyone bring a dish to pass" parties. Be creative with extra toppings such as adding baby pepperoni, red pepper flakes, or chopped mushrooms which will additional flavor. Serve with chunks of Italian or french bread, fresh vegetable dippers, or chips.
Ingredients:
1 8oz package fat free cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp Italian seasoning1 cup low fat Mozzarella cheese, shredded
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 8oz. can pizza sauce
2 tbsp green pepper, chopped (optional)
2 tbsp green onions, chopped (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine cream cheese and Italian seasoning, spread onto an 8" pie pan or small baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, combine mozzarella and Parmesan. Sprinkle half the mixture on top of the cream cheese. Spread the pizza sauce over the cheese mixture, then cover with the remaining cheese mixture. Top with the bell pepper and green onions.
4. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top cheese begins turning brown. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. This recipe re-heats well.
