Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices White or sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons Pizza sauce
- 8 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- to taste Optional toppings (e.g., sliced olives, cooked sausage, bell peppers, etc.)
Instructions
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a cutting board or plate. These will be the bottom slices for your sandwiches.
Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly on the unbuttered side of each bottom slice.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza sauce for each slice.
Add 4 pepperoni slices (and any additional toppings, if using) over the cheese on each slice.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of Italian seasoning on top of the toppings for extra flavor.
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of each sandwich, buttered side up.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
Flip the sandwiches gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Cheese Pizza Sandwiches!
