Instructions

Prepare the Pepperoncini Baked Feta Dip

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure the dip bakes evenly and becomes perfectly golden and bubbly on top.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, chopped pepperoncini peppers, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Transfer to a Baking Dish: Pour the dip mixture into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish (an 8×8-inch dish works well, but you can also use a round or oval dish). Spread it evenly to make sure it bakes uniformly.
Bake the Dip: Place the dip in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and the dip is bubbly. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are slightly crispy, and the center is hot and melty.
Garnish and Serve: Once the dip is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
