Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread slices
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 10 slices Pepperoni slices
- 4 tablespoons Pizza sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each bread slice.
Place two bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean surface or cutting board.
Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on the unbuttered side of each bread slice on the surface.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce on each slice.
Add 5 pepperoni slices onto each bread slice over the cheese.
Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning and optional crushed red pepper flakes for added flavor.
Top each prepared bread slice with another piece of bread, buttered side up, creating a sandwich.

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute.
Cut each sandwich in half, serve warm, and enjoy your Grilled Pizza Sandwich!
