Spread out evenly and place next to your sausage that’s cooking to heat up.
- While your waiting on your sausage you can with chop or tear up your fresh basil leaves in to pieces for a garnish at the end.
- Your sausage should be done at this point and you can add a thin layer of sausage over cheese mix, on top of that add a layer of mozzarella, cheddar cheese and a healthy layer of marinara or pizza sauce. Top that with more mozzarella, a little more cheddar and a bit of parmesan. On top of all that add a topping of pepperonis and your fresh basil.
- Under a dome or large aluminum tin spray some water and cover to melt all the cheeses. This should take about 4- 5 minutes.
- When your cheese is all melted and starting to bubble remove from griddle top. To serve I place the tray on a large cutting board or tray, surround with pitta chips and post dust your dip and pita chips with the Blackstone Parmesan Ranch Seasoning and serve.
