Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients

For the Bread

  • 4 slices Sandwich Bread Use your favorite type, from whole wheat to sourdough.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter For spreading on the bread.

For the Filling

  • 2 tablespoons Pizza Sauce Use homemade or store-bought for convenience.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Enhances the overall pizza taste.
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Can substitute with dairy-free option.
  • 6-8 slices Pepperoni Can swap for veggies or other meats.
  • 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Optional, for extra flavor.

Instructions

Directions

  • Butter the bread by spreading unsalted butter on one side of each slice.
  • Layer the filling: Place one slice of bread butter-side-down in a cold skillet. Spread pizza sauce, sprinkle Italian seasoning, add half mozzarella, layer pepperoni, and finish with remaining mozzarella. Cap with the second slice, butter-side-up.
  • Heat the skillet on medium and grill for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.
  • Rest the sandwich for 1 minute before slicing in half. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce.

Notes

For best texture, reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
