Description

Welcome, food lovers! Today, we’re diving into a mouthwatering recipe that blends two all-time favorites: pizza and grilled cheese. If you’re a fan of ooey-gooey melted cheese, savory pepperoni, and crispy, buttery bread, then this Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Sandwich is the perfect treat for you. Not only is this sandwich easy to make, but it’s also bursting with flavor, making it an excellent choice for a quick lunch or a comforting dinner. Let’s get cooking!

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

 

  1. Prepare the butter spread: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the butter, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning until smooth and well combined.
  2. Butter the bread: Spread the butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Ensure that the entire surface is coated for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Over medium-low heat, place a slice of bread butter-side down in a skillet. Top it with a slice of mozzarella cheese, 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.
  4. Cook the sandwich: Cook the sandwich until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Then, carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and the cheese has melted to perfection.
  5. Serve: Slice the sandwich in half and serve it immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy the perfect blend of pizza and grilled cheese in every bite!

Equipment

Notes

 

  • Choosing the right bread: For the best results, use thick slices of white or sourdough bread. This will help the sandwich hold together and provide a satisfying crunch.
  • Perfecting the cook time: To ensure the cheese melts evenly without burning the bread, keep the heat at medium-low and be patient. If the bread is browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
