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. Mix together the softened butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth and well combined.
  2. Spread the butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread slices butter side up on a sheet tray.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place one slice of bread, butter side down, in the skillet.
  4. Top with a slice of mozzarella, followed by 6 slices of pepperoni, another slice of mozzarella, 6 more slices of pepperoni, and a final slice of mozzarella.
  5. Place another slice of bread on top, butter side up. Cook until the bottom slice is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  7. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining ingredients to make additional sandwiches.
  8. Serve the Pizza Grilled Cheese immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

For extra crispiness, make sure the skillet is well preheated before adding the bread. Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
