Get ready to indulge in the ultimate comfort food with this Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese! A delicious fusion of classic grilled cheese and pizza, it’s perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner.
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (your choice, white or whole grain)
- 8 slices of pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons marinara or pizza sauce
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread for that perfect golden crisp.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On the non-buttered side of two slices, spread 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce each. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Layer 4 slices of pepperoni on each. Add a pinch of oregano and garlic powder (if using). Top with the remaining mozzarella and close the sandwiches with the other slices, butter side facing out.
- Cook the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Gently press down with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly.
- Serve: Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
