  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer (or a sturdy spoon) until smooth and creamy.

  2. Process the Pepperoni & Pepperoncinis:

    • Add the pepperoni slices to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

    • Toss in the drained pepperoncinis and pulse again until everything is evenly combined.

  3. Combine Everything:

    • Scrape the pepperoni-pepperoncini mixture into the bowl with the cream cheese.

    • Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and mix until fully incorporated.

  4. Chill & Serve:

    • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    • Serve with crackers, pita chips, crostini, or fresh veggies like celery and bell peppers.

Pro Tip: For extra kick, add a splash of pepperoncini brine or a pinch of red pepper flakes!
