Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (soft)
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Craft a flavorful butter blend by combining softened butter, parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Generously coat one side of each bread slice with the seasoned butter mixture, arranging them butter-side up on a sheet tray.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and place one bread slice butter-side down.
- Layer the sandwich with alternating slices of mozzarella and pepperoni, creating three delectable cheese and pepperoni layers.
- Top the sandwich with the second buttered bread slice, butter-side facing upward.
- Cover the skillet with a lid to encourage even cheese melting, cooking for 3-5 minutes until the bottom achieves a rich golden-brown color.
- Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, replacing the lid to ensure the second side crisps to a similar golden hue and the cheese melts completely.
- Repeat the process for remaining sandwiches, maintaining consistent heat and cooking technique.
- Plate the grilled cheese immediately, accompanied by warm pizza sauce for a delightful dipping experience.
Notes
- Adjust pepperoni levels based on personal preference, adding more or less to suit individual taste.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like provolone or cheddar for unique flavor combinations.
- Ensure butter mixture is evenly spread to achieve consistent golden-brown crispiness on bread.
- Toast sandwiches on medium-low heat to prevent burning while allowing cheese to melt thoroughly.
