Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread (white, sourdough, or wheat)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded or sliced)
- 12 slices Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder over the butter for extra flavor.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the heated skillet.
Add a layer of shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 cup per sandwich) onto each slice of bread in the skillet.
Evenly distribute six slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese layer on each sandwich.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage even browning and melting. Flip the sandwiches carefully using the spatula.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Let them cool slightly, then slice diagonally if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Pepperoni Grilled Cheese Sandwiches!
