- 1 ½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese divided
- 1 cup mayo
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup pizza sauce or marinara
- ¼ cup sliced pepperoni
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- While the bread is baking, in a large bowl add the cream cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Beat until combined
- Spoon this mixture onto the center of the skillet.
- Spoon a layer of the pizza sauce on top of the cheese mixture and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce
- Layer pepperoni slices around the top.
- Brush the rolls with the rest of the melted butter mixture and sprinkle with optional parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the dip is thoroughly heated and your rolls are a golden brown
