Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Pizza Dip
- Cream Cheese: Room temperature will work best since it will combine better with the other ingredients.
- Mayonnaise: Use light mayonnaise; you will not tell the difference but save on some calories.
- Sour Cream: Reduced Fat, or light will work here as well.
- Seasonings: Italian Seasoning, Onion Powder, Salt, and Black Pepper.
- Minced Garlic: A great way to add some extra flavor to your dip.
- Cheese: Today, I used a blend of shredded mozzarella and Cheddar. But any cheese will work.
- Pepperoni: Use sliced from the deli or diced.
How To Make Pizza Dip In Air Fryer
In a large mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, seasonings, minced garlic and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and all cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.
Using a spoon, fill the ramekins about 3/4 full, and then top with the remaining cheese. Set the pepperoni on top. Place the ramekins into the air fryer basket, set the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Pro Tips:
- Dishes: You can use any dish in the air fryer that is oven safe, depending on the size of your dish, the time may vary.
- Check: Since all air fryers cook slightly differently, remember to check on your pizza dip, frequently as it cooks up.
- Cheese: For best results, use freshly grated cheese, which will melt better than pre-shredded cheese, since it does not contain cellulose.
- Healthier Version: Looking for a way to make this healthier, switch the mayonnaise out for Greek Yogurt.
Variations:
Today, I made a classic pepperoni pizza dip, but there are so many variations, so use your favorite pizza toppings for this dip. Make sure that the meat is fully cooked and the vegetables are sauteed before adding.
Some great suggestions:
- Meat: Cooked bacon, Italian sausage, ham, chorizo, or even ground beef.
- Vegetables: Zucchini, Summer Squash, Mushrooms, Roasted Red Peppers, Onions, Peppers, Broccoli, or Tomatoes.
How To Store:
Let the leftovers cool to room temperature and then cover and place into the refrigerator. The leftovers will be good for about 2 to 4 days when stored in an airtight container.
To reheat, place into the microwave or air fryer, and heat until warmed through.
How To Serve:
This is a very versatile dip that you can eat in several ways. My favorite suggestions are Tortilla Chips, French Bread, Crackers, or even celery and carrots!
Oven Instructions:
Remember anything that you make in an air fryer; you can quickly cook in an oven. Prepare as directed and then place into a preheated 350 degrees F oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until bubbling.
