How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch pie dish (or a 9 × 9-inch baking pan) with cooking spray. In a medium bowl mix together the cream cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, chives, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, and Parmesan for the first layer. Spread the cream cheese mixture in the prepared pie pan. On top of the first layer, spread on the pizza sauce, followed by the mozzarella, bell peppers, pepperonis, and ending with the remaining ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning and olives if desired. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
