Here’s a fun, cheesy twist on the classic grilled cheese—Pizza Grilled Cheese! This recipe combines the flavors of a pizza with the comfort of a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s the ultimate comfort food for pizza lovers!
Pizza Grilled Cheese Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, very soft
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 8 slices white bread
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese
- 6 ounces pepperoni (or more if you love it extra meaty)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Butter Mixture:
- In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Lay out 4 slices of white bread on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous amount of the prepared butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
- On the non-buttered side of each slice, add 3 slices of mozzarella cheese.
- Layer pepperoni slices on top of the mozzarella cheese, distributing them evenly.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
3. Cook the Sandwiches:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Once hot, place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet.
- Cook each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside. You can press down slightly with a spatula to help them cook evenly and get that delicious crispy crust.
4. Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or two before cutting them in half.
- Serve hot, and enjoy the gooey cheese, savory pepperoni, and crispy, buttery bread.
Enjoy!
This Pizza Grilled Cheese combines the best of both worlds—pizza and grilled cheese—into one irresistible sandwich. The gooey mozzarella, savory pepperoni, and buttery, golden crust make it a comforting and indulgent meal for any occasion. 🍕🧀
