Ingredients

3/4 cup pizza sauce

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 oz sliced mini pepperoni

8 oz cream cheese, divided

1/3 cup alfredo sauce

2 tbsp jarred basil pesto

1/3 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers

2 tsp harissa paste

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp crumbled feta

3/4 cup store-bought spinach artichoke dip

Cook mozzarella sticks according to package directions.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Stir together pizza sauce and Parmesan cheese; set aside.
In another bowl, beat together 2 oz cream cheese, alfredo sauce, and pesto until blended; set aside.
In another bowl, beat together 4 oz cream cheese with spinach artichoke dip until blended; set aside.
In small food processor or blender, beat together remaining 2 oz cream cheese, roasted red peppers, olive oil and harissa paste until blended. Stir in crumbled feta.
On parchment lined 10 x 14-inch rimmed baking sheet, arrange mozzarella sticks around edges of prepared baking sheet. Then arrange mozzarella sticks lengthwise and widthwise, making a cross shape in the center that divides the baking sheet into 4 quadrants.
Spoon spinach artichoke dip in one quadrant; smooth top. Spoon creamy alfredo pesto dip and spicy red pepper each into another quadrant. Spoon pizza sauce mixture into remaining quadrant; smooth top and garnish with pepperoni.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until dips are heated through and bubbling. Serve warm.

Tips:

Substitute harissa paste with Italian chilies in oil or your favorite hot sauce to taste.
If desired, serve with chips and/or crackers to eat up all that dip.
If desired, before serving garnish top of pizza dip with basil, spinach artichoke dip with parsley, pesto dip with bacon, and roasted red pepper dip with more crumbled feta.
