Equipment

  • 1 Skillet for grilling sandwich

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 4 slices thick sliced bread such as Artesano bread
  • 3 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese for stretchy, melty base
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce plus extra for dipping
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese for a sharp kick
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil leaves for herby note
  • 1 pinch dried oregano for classic pizza taste
  • 24 slices pepperoni about 1 inch diameter
  • Butter for crispy crust
  • 6 slices pepperoni optional for topping

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the bottom. It helps get that crispy crust going.
  • Spread pizza sauce on one side of each slice of bread. Don’t be shy — that sauce is the soul of this sandwich.
  • Layer shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and oregano onto two slices of bread on top of the sauce. You gotta stack it right so every bite bursts with flavor.
  • Place the remaining two slices of bread sauce side down on top of those layers to form a sandwich.
  • Butter the outside of each sandwich generously. This step locks in moisture and makes that outside extra crunchy.
  • Put the sandwiches in the heated skillet, grilling until they’re golden brown — about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. This part is where you gotta watch to make sure they don’t burn.
  • Carefully remove the sandwiches from the skillet. Let them rest a minute before slicing so the cheese can set a bit.
  • Slice each sandwich in half and serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping. That dip is what ties everything together y’all.

Notes

This recipe combines the flavors of pizza with the comfort of grilled cheese, all in a quick and convenient package.
