Easy Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese Ingredients: - 4 slices thick-cut sandwich bread - ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese - 12 slices pepperoni - 2 tablespoons marinara or pizza sauce - 2 tablespoons butter, softened Instructions: 1. Prep the bread: Spread 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce evenly on one side of each bread slice. Don't use too much or the bread will get soggy. 2. Layer the filling: On the sauce side of one bread slice, layer half the mozzarella cheese, then arrange the pepperoni slices, and top with the remaining cheese. This ensures the pepperoni stays in place. 3. Assemble the sandwich: Place the second bread slice on top, sauce side down, pressing gently to help everything stick together. 4. Butter the outside: Spread softened butter evenly on both outer sides of the sandwich. This creates that perfect golden, crispy crust. 5. Start grilling: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. 6. Flip and finish: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is completely melted. 7. Rest and serve: Remove from heat and let the sandwich rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing diagonally. This helps the cheese set slightly and prevents it from oozing out.
