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 the unsalted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth.
- Spread the butter mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice. Lay the bread slices butter side up on a sheet tray.
- Over medium-low heat, place one slice of bread butter side down in a skillet. Top with one slice of mozzarella, six pepperoni slices, another slice of mozzarella, six more pepperonis, and a final slice of mozzarella.
- Place another slice of bread on top, butter side up. Cook until the bottom is golden brown (about 3-5 minutes), then flip and cook until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of pepperoni or cheese based on your preference.
- For a crispier sandwich, cook on low heat for a longer time to ensure the cheese melts thoroughly without burning the bread.
