Introducing the Pizza Grilled Cheese Delight—quick, easy, and satisfying for all ages. Let’s take a look at how to craft this savory treat.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese
- 8 slices of bread
- 6-8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 oz pepperoni slices
Steps to Create Your Pizza Grilled Cheese Delight:
- Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, blend the softened butter with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined. This seasoned butter is the secret to achieving perfectly crispy, flavorful bread.
- Assemble the Bread: Spread the butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Place the slices, buttered side down, on a clean cutting board.
- Add the Pizza Flavors: Evenly spread the pizza sauce on the unbuttered side of four bread slices. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Be generous, as this is where the magic happens.
- Build the Sandwiches: Cover each prepared slice with another slice of bread, buttered side up. This will create four sandwiches, ready to be grilled to perfection.
- Grill to Perfection: Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches, cooking them for about four minutes on each side, or until golden brown. If needed, cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt fully.
- Serve Warm: Once the sandwiches are golden and the cheese is gooey, remove them from the skillet. Slice and serve warm, savoring the comforting blend of pizza flavors and grilled cheese goodness.
