Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices per sandwich White or sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 6 pieces per sandwich Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Pizza sauce
- 1 tablespoon (optional) Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional) Italian seasoning or dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Spread half of the butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Place one bread slice, buttered side down, on the preheated skillet.
Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over the top of the bread slice in the skillet.
Layer half of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce.
Arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni, followed by the second tablespoon of pizza sauce.
Place the second bread slice on top, buttered side up, to form a sandwich.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bottom bread slice is golden brown and crisp.
Carefully flip the sandwich with the spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until crisp and the cheese is melted.
Optional: Once done, sprinkle the sandwich with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of Italian seasoning or dried oregano for extra flavor.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
