creamy pizza dip with salami

Ingredients

  • 500g cream cheese softened
  • 250g sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 400g jar pasta sauce
  • 2 cup pizza cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 50g Hellers garlic and paprika salami chopped into quarters
  • 1/2 cup runny honey
  • 6 shots of tabasco sauce
  • Fresh basil leaves chopped
  • Optional: chili flakes
  • To serve: garlic bread or crusty warm buttered ciabatta

Method

  1. Preheat oven 200C
  2. Place the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, oregano and salt into a medium bowl and using a spatula combine till smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over an oiled deep sided ovenproof pan or dish approx. 25cm diameter
  3. Pour the pizza sauce over the creamy base evenly
  4. Sprinkle evenly with pizza cheese and parmesan
  5. Cover the top with cut slices of salami and then place in the oven for 15 mins. Check halfway through to make sure the salami isn't burning. This is a good time to add the garlic bread to heat through
  6. Remove both from the oven and turn on the grill allow to heat up. Keep the garlic bread somewhere warm and then place the dip under the grill for only 1-3 mins, keep an eye on it as it can burn quickly
  7. Combine the honey and the tabasco into a small bowl or jug and heat in the microwave for 20-30 secs until hot.
  8. Decorate the pizza dip with basil and chili flakes and drizzle with hot honey - make sure you have some hot honey on the side
