This isn’t your ordinary grilled cheese sandwich—not by a long shot! Instead of just plain cheese inside we’ve stuffed it with pizza sauce and pepperoni for the ultimate Pizza Grilled Cheese. The look on the rest of my kids’ faces as they took their first bite was priceless. They did not see this fun surprise coming!

And they’re oh so simple to make. It literally takes just minutes to assemble the sandwiches, and then they’re ready for a trip to the frying pan to get all nice and toasty. These will become a new favorite of yours as soon as your try them!

 

Ingredients:

4 slices of bread

butter or margarine

4 slices of mozzarella cheese

pepperoni (I used reg and cut in half but mini size would be good too)

Italian seasoning or basil

Parmesan cheese (opt)

pizza sauce for dipping

 

Directions:

Warm a medium/large skillet over medium heat. Butter each piece of bread on one side. When skillet is hot place a piece of bread butter side down on the skillet then add one slice of cheese and small shake of Italian seasoning or basil (add a small shake of parmesan cheese here too if desired). Top with a desired amount of pepperonis (I used about 8 -10 whole regular pepperonis per sandwich) If any other toppings are desired, add now. Add another slice of mozzarella and top with slice bread butter side up. Repeat with second sandwich. When bottom slice is golden brown then flip over carefully. Once both sides are brown remove from pan cut and serve with pizza sauce if desired. Make 2 sandwiches
