Ingredients
For the Sandwich:
- 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for a lighter option)
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices pepperoni (or other favorite toppings)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced mushrooms
- Sliced bell peppers
- Cooked sausage
- Black olives
- Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
Spread a thin layer of butter (or olive oil) on one side of each bread slice. Sprinkle a little garlic powder and Parmesan cheese over the buttered side for extra flavor.
Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich
Flip the slices so the buttered side is facing down. Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce on two of the bread slices. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Add pepperoni slices (or your preferred toppings) and a dash of Italian seasoning for that authentic pizza taste.
Step 3: Top and Close
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top, buttered side facing outward. Gently press down to secure the sandwich.
Step 4: Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice diagonally for the perfect cheesy bite. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
