That’s a genius mashup — a melty Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich 🍕🧀🥪 Crispy bread outside, gooey cheese and pizza flavors inside. Here’s how you can whip it up:
🍕 Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Ingredients (for 2 sandwiches)
-
4 slices bread (Italian, sourdough, or sandwich bread)
-
2 tbsp softened butter (or mayo, for spreading)
-
4 tbsp pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mozzarella-cheddar mix)
-
8–10 slices pepperoni (or your favorite toppings: ham, mushrooms, olives)
-
½ tsp Italian seasoning
-
Optional: pinch of garlic powder or red chili flakes for kick
Instructions
-
Prep bread → Spread butter (or mayo) on one side of each bread slice.
-
Assemble → On the unbuttered side of 2 slices, spread pizza sauce, sprinkle cheese, add pepperoni, season, then top with more cheese. Place remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
-
Grill → Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side, pressing slightly with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
-
Serve → Slice in half and serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
✨ Variations:
-
Veggie version → Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach.
-
Meat lover’s → Layer in cooked sausage or bacon bits.
-
Cheese bomb → Use mozzarella + provolone + Parmesan.
Would you like me to also give you a sheet-pan party version (like pizza grilled cheese sliders for a crowd), or just stick to the skillet sandwiches?
