Preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Spread the butter evenly on one side of each sourdough bread slice.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
Lay the pepperoni slices in the heated skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until slightly crisp. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.
In the same skillet, drizzle the olive oil and lightly sauté the spinach leaves for 30 seconds, just until wilted. Remove and set aside.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the unbuttered side of one bread slice.
Layer the spinach leaves, cooked pepperoni slices, and mozzarella cheese on top of the mayonnaise-mustard spread.
Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Place the sandwich in the heated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing down slightly with a spatula to ensure even toasting. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice in half and serve warm.
