Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwiches 🍕🧀

A crispy, gooey mashup of grilled cheese and pepperoni pizza—ready in just 15 minutes!

Ingredients (Makes 2 sandwiches)

• 4 slices thick bread (sourdough or Texas toast)

• 4 tbsp softened butter (or garlic butter for extra flavor)

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella

• ½ cup marinara sauce (plus extra for dipping)

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 12-15 slices pepperoni

• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the Bread

   • Butter one side of each bread slice. Flip over and spread 1-2 tbsp marinara on the unbuttered side.

2. Layer the Cheese & Pepperoni

   • On two slices (sauce-side up), layer:

     • ½ cup mozzarella

     • Pepperoni

     • Parmesan

     • Italian seasoning & red pepper flakes

   • Top with the remaining bread slices (buttered side out).

3. Cook to Crispy Perfection

   • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat.

   • Add sandwiches and cook 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down lightly, until golden and cheese melts.

4. Serve Hot

   • Slice and serve with extra warm marinara for dipping. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

🔥 Pro Tips

• Extra melty? Add a slice of provolone or cream cheese.

• Crispier pepperoni? Microwave for 20 sec first to render fat.

• Garlic bread twist? Mix 1 minced garlic clove into the butter.

This Pizza Grilled Cheese is the ultimate comfort food hybrid—cheesy, saucy, and irresistible! 🧀🔥
