Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese recipe
Description
The recipe calls for slices of Sara Lee Artesano bread layered with sliced mozzarella cheese and cooked pepperoni. The pepperoni slices are microwaved briefly to reduce grease before assembly. Each sandwich is cooked in a medium skillet over medium-low heat with butter until the cheese melts and the bread toasts evenly.
A garlic butter mixture made from melted unsalted butter blended with parsley, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt is brushed on both sides of the grilled cheese near the end of cooking. This step crisps the bread further and infuses it with aromatic flavors commonly associated with pizza crust. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese is added before serving, which can be accompanied by marinara sauce for dipping, enhancing the pizza-inspired taste.
This grilled cheese combines the simplicity of a classic toasted sandwich with ingredients that mimic popular pizza toppings, offering a comforting, savory snack or light meal choice.
