Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter very soft
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 8 slices white bread
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese
- 6 oz pepperoni about 24 slices
- warm pizza sauce for dipping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix softened butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth and well combined.
- Evenly coat one side of each bread slice with the butter mixture. Arrange the slices butter side up on a sheet tray for easy assembly.
- Place a buttered slice of bread, butter side down, in a skillet over medium-low heat. Layer with a slice of mozzarella, followed by 6 slices of pepperoni, another slice of mozzarella, 6 more pepperoni slices, and a final slice of mozzarella. Top with another buttered slice, butter side up, and press gently.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Flip with a spatula and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted. If needed, reduce the heat and cover briefly to melt the cheese.
- Remove from the skillet, cut in half, and serve with warm pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a few fresh basil leaves along with the pepperoni, or sprinkle a little red pepper flakes for heat!
