Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices White or sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 slices Pepperoni slices (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.
Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on the upward-facing side of each slice of bread in the skillet.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella evenly over the pizza sauce on each slice.
Add optional toppings like pepperoni slices and sprinkle with Italian seasoning for added flavor.
Top each bread slice with another slice of bread, ensuring the buttered side faces up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula occasionally to help the cheese melt and bond the layers.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing each grilled cheese pizza sandwich in half.
Serve warm and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
