Ingredients
Garlic Butter Mixture:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, very soft
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
For Assembly:
- 8 slices white bread
- 12 slices mozzarella cheese
- 6 ounces pepperoni
- Warm pizza sauce, for dipping
Instructions
Prepare Garlic Butter: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth and well combined.
Butter the Bread: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice. Place the slices butter-side-up on a tray until ready to use.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat.
Place a slice of bread, butter-side-down, into the skillet.
Layer with one slice of mozzarella, 6 slices of pepperoni, another slice of mozzarella, another 6 slices of pepperoni, and finish with a third slice of mozzarella.
Top with another slice of bread, butter-side-up.
Cook the Sandwiches:
Cover the skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese.
Cook for 3–5 minutes or until the bottom slice is golden brown.
Carefully flip the sandwich with a spatula, replace the lid, and cook the second side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
Serve: Serve hot with warm pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Cook sandwiches in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- To keep sandwiches crispy, place them on a wire rack over a sheet tray instead of stacking or placing directly on a plate.
- Add other pizza toppings (like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers) for extra flavor.
- Substitute your favorite bread or cheese—provolone or parmesan also work great.
- These sandwiches can be frozen and reheated.
