THREE CHEESE PEPPERONCINI SPREAD

This is a super easy appetizer to prepare the next time you're hosting company. Pepperoncinis are a milder pepper and add a slight bite to the dip, but do not make it spicy. Feta and gorgonzola cheese complement each other wonderfully and add to the punch of flavor. This dip is very rich, thick, and creamy. Fantastic on a slice...

8 oz Greek cream cheese (cream cheese and Greek yogurt), if available or regular cream cheese - softened

2-3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

1. Make sure cream cheese is softened.
