Ingredients:
2 slices of bread (your choice, such as sourdough or whole wheat)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
1/4 cup pepperoni slices (or your favorite pizza toppings)
Optional: 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: Italian seasoning or garlic powder for extra flavor
Directions:
Prepare the Bread:
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Assemble the Sandwich:
On the non-buttered side of one slice, spread the pizza sauce evenly.
Layer the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, followed by the pepperoni slices. If using, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese and seasonings on top.
Place the other slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
Cook the Grilled Cheese:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Press down slightly with a spatula to help it cook evenly.
Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve:
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half.
Serve with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Pizza Grilled Cheese!
