Description
A cheesy, delicious grilled cheese sandwich with mozzarella, pepperoni, and a savory butter spread, perfect for pizza lovers.
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
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth.
- Spread the butter mixture evenly over one side of the bread slices. Lay the bread butter side up on a sheet tray.

- Serve immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
For a crispier sandwich, make sure the heat is not too high and cook the sandwich slowly to allow the cheese to melt perfectly.
