Cheesy Goodness Sandwich

Indulge in the savory and melty sensations of a Cheesy Goodness sandwich, combining crispy golden-brown bread with layers of melted mozzarella and spicy pepperoni.

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

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the softened butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Spread the butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Place the slices of bread butter side up on a baking sheet.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, take one slice of bread and place it butter side down in the skillet.
  4. Top the bread in the skillet with a slice of mozzarella, followed by 6 slices of pepperoni, then another slice of mozzarella, another 6 slices of pepperoni, and finally a last slice of mozzarella.
  5. Cover with another slice of bread, butter side up. Cook the sandwich until the bottom slice is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side until it is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about another 3-5 minutes.
  7. Remove the sandwich from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional sandwiches.
  8. Serve the Pizza Grilled Cheese immediately with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

Make sure the butter is very soft for easy spreading. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can freeze assembled sandwiches for up to 2 months.
