Preparation Time 10 min

Cooking Time 8 min

Overall Time 18 min

Ingredients

 Garlic Butter

 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

 4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

 1/4 teaspoon salt

 Grilled Cheese

 8 thick slices sturdy bread (sourdough or Italian)

 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

 1/2 cup pizza or marinara sauce

 24 thin slices pepperoni

Steps

In a small bowl, mix softened butter, parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.

Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on 4 slices of bread. Top each with mozzarella cheese and 6 slices of pepperoni. Cover with the remaining 4 slices of bread.

Generously spread garlic butter on the outside of each sandwich.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Slice the sandwiches and serve with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips

Use sturdy bread like sourdough or Italian for better texture and avoid sogginess.

For a dairy-free option, substitute mozzarella cheese with a dairy-free alternative.

Add crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños for extra heat.

Customize by adding toppings such as mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers.
