PEPPERONI PIZZA GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Provided by Camille

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 slices Italian bread (or bread of choice)
28 pepperoni slices
1/2 cup marinara sauce
8 slices fresh mozzarella
2 tomatoes (sliced)
1/2 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
3 Tablespoons garlic butter (or plain butter works as well)

Steps:

  • Lay out 2 slices of bread.
  • Place 7 pepperonis on one slice of bread.
  • Top pepperoni with 2 Tablespoons marinara sauce.
  • Lay 2 fresh mozzarella slices over sauce, then place 2 tomato slices on mozzarella.
  • Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese over everything, then top with other slice of bread.
  • Spread garlic butter (or if you don't have garlic butter, regular unsalted butter will work great) on one side of the sandwich and place that side down on the preheated griddle.
  • Then butter the slice on top so it will brown when you flip it over.
  • Grill until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted (about 2-4 minutes per side).
  • Repeat all the steps for the other 3 sandwiches.
  • Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for pepperoni that is made with real pork or beef, and a cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella or cheddar.
  • For a crispy grilled cheese sandwich, use a thick, sturdy bread that can withstand the heat of the grill. Ciabatta, sourdough, or French bread are all good choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. Cook the sandwiches in batches if necessary, so that they have enough space to cook evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the sandwiches while they are cooking. They can burn quickly, so flip them frequently.
  • Serve the grilled cheese sandwiches immediately, while they are hot and melty. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Pepperoni pizza grilled cheese sandwiches are a quick and easy way to satisfy your cravings for pizza and grilled cheese all at once.
