Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, seasonings, minced garlic, 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese, and all of the cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.
- Using a spoon, fill the ramekins about 3/4 full, then top with the remaining cheese.
- Set the pepperoni on top. Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F on the air fry setting for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Equipment
- Oven-Safe Dish
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Shred cheese from a block for the best melt — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents.
- Air fryers vary — start checking at 5 minutes.
- Make ahead: mix the dip up to 24 hours in advance, refrigerate, and add 1–2 minutes to the cook time.
- Storage: refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes.
