- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices of pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
Directions
- Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet.
How to Prepare
- On each slice in the skillet, evenly distribute 1/2 cup of mozzarella.
- Place 4 slices of pepperoni on top of the mozzarella.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce over the pepperoni.
- Cover with another bread slice, buttered side up, to form a sandwich.
- Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has thoroughly melted.
Notes
- Butter Alternatives: For a lighter version, you can use olive oil or a low-calorie cooking spray on the bread instead of butter.
- Cheese Varieties: Experiment with different types of cheese such as cheddar for a sharper flavor, or a smoked provolone for a deeper taste.
- Additional Toppings: Feel free to add additional toppings such as onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to mimic your favorite pizza.
- Cooking Tip: For an extra crispy texture, press down on the sandwich with a spatula while grilling.
