Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter, very soft
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 8 slices white bread
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese
- 6 ounces pepperoni
- Warm pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Mix together the softened butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth.
- Spread the butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread slices butter side up on a sheet tray.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place one slice of bread, butter side down, in the skillet.
- Top with one slice of mozzarella, followed by 6 slices of pepperoni, another slice of mozzarella, 6 more slices of pepperoni, and a final slice of mozzarella.
- Place another slice of bread on top, butter side up. Cook until the bottom slice is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until it is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional sandwiches.
- Serve the Pizza Grilled Cheese immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
For extra crispiness, use a heavier skillet or press down on the sandwich while it cooks. Leftover sandwiches can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
