Pizza Grilled Cheese

A gooey and cheesy delight that blends grilled cheese and pizza into one mouthwatering sandwich.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (very soft)
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 8 slices of white bread
  • 12 slices of mozzarella cheese
  • 6 ounces of pepperoni
  • Warm pizza sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Mix the butter: In a bowl, combine the soft unsalted butter, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning. Mix until it’s well combined and spreadable.
  2. Prepare the bread: Take four slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the butter mixture on one side of each slice.
  3. Layer the cheese: On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer 3-4 slices of mozzarella cheese, followed by a layer of pepperoni, and then another 3-4 slices of mozzarella cheese on top.
  4. Top it off: Place the other two slices of bread butter-side up on top of the cheesy goodness.
  5. Heat the pan: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place your sandwiches in the pan.
  6. Cook to perfection: Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  7. Slice and serve: Once they’re perfectly grilled, remove them from the pan, let them cool for a minute, and then slice them in half if you like. Pair with warm pizza sauce for dipping!

Notes

Feel free to use whole wheat or sourdough bread for healthier alternatives. Experiment with different types of cheese for unique flavors.
