About this Recipe

The base of this recipe is creamy with the sour cream and cream cheese but the tomatoes and tomato sauce bring it all together. I add olives to my dip because my favorite pizza toppings are pepperoni and olive but feel free to add any of your favorite toppings to the mix. Served with pizza breadsticks made with my quick, no rise pizza dough, this dip comes together in less than a half an hour and is served in a bubbly warm cast iron skillet.

Chef’s Note – Watery Toppings

I would hesitate to add watery toppings like pineapple because it may create separation from the toppings and the cheese but almost any other type of topping works great.
