Pizza Grilled Cheese in Your Pressure Cooker
Pizza grilled cheese combines two of my all-time favorite comfort foods: pizza and grilled cheese! Toasty grilled bread and an ooey gooey cheesy middle.
Equipment
- 1 Pressure Cooker with sauté mode
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 slices thick sliced bread such as Artesano bread
- 3 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese gooey and melty
- 2 tablespoons pizza sauce plus extra for dipping, gotta have that tang
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese adds sharpness
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil leaves for freshness
- 1 pinch dried oregano classic pizza touch
- 24 slices pepperoni thin slices, that perfect pepperoni bite
- Butter to spread on bread, makes that crust golden
Instructions
Instructions
- Butter one side of each bread slice nice and even. This helps crisp it up.
- Layer 1.5 ounces mozzarella, half the pizza sauce, Parmesan, basil, oregano and 12 pepperoni slices on unbuttered side of two bread slices.
- Top with remaining bread slices, butter side out. You’re makin a sandwich ready to brown.
- Set your pressure cooker to sauté mode, let it preheat.
- Place sandwiches in and cook til golden, about 3-4 mins each side. You gotta keep watch or cheese melts too fast.
- Once browned and melty, carefully lift 'em out. Let cool slightly, that tender pull is a tease.
- Cut sandwiches in half and serve with extra pizza sauce for dunkin.
- If you want, do a quick release for fast cooling or slow release to keep 'em warm longer. Both work good.
Notes
Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
- Use pre-shredded mozzarella and Parmesan to save prep time.
- Swap fresh basil with dried if you’re in a pinch, it still works.
- Grab store-bought pizza sauce, sometimes ya just gotta go fast.
- Butter bread ahead the night before and keep wrapped in fridge, so it's ready to hit the cooker.
