Ingredients: 

- 8oz Cream Cheese

- 1/2 cup Sour Cream

- 1 clove Garlic, grated or finely chopped

- 1 tsp Dried Oregano

- 8oz Mozzarella Cheese, coarsely grated

- 1/2 cup Parmesan, grated

- 1 jar Zia Hatch Green Chile (strained)

- Pepperoni Slices (as many as you like)

- 1 Baguette or Desired Loaf of Bread, warmed and sliced

- Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes

Directions: 

1. Let cream cheese sit out for 20-30 minutes, allowing it to come to room temperature. 

2. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

3. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, pinch of salt, 6oz mozzarella, 2 tbsp parmesan, and Zia Hatch Green Chile. Fold together until fully mixed.
