2 tbsp butter, softened
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup pizza sauce
¼ cup sliced pepperoni (or favorite toppings)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Butter Bread: Spread 1 tbsp butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Assemble: Place one slice, buttered side down, into the skillet. Top with mozzarella, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and Italian seasoning. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Top & Toast: Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Cook: Toast for 3–4 minutes per side, until both sides are golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
Serve: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve warm.
Notes
Add veggies like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
Try swapping mozzarella with provolone, cheddar, or pepper jack for variety.
For extra crispiness, cook slowly on medium-low heat.
Pairs perfectly with marinara or ranch dipping sauce.
