Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- 8 lices bread
- 6-8 mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 oz pepperoni slices
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir the butter to soften it and smooth it out. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
- Spread the butter mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread butter side down on a cutting board.
- Divide the pizza sauce evenly, spreading on the sides of the bread without the butter. Top each piece with cheese. Divide the pepperoni between 4 of the slices, then carefully turn the sides without the pepperoni on them over to create 4 sandwiches with the butter on the outsides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium low heat and add as many sandwiches as will fit. (I usually can fit 3 in a 12-inch skillet.) Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 4 minutes, then carefully flip and cook the second side. If needed, place a lid on the pan so that the cheese will melt.
- Serve the sandwiches warm.

Notes
- These are best served right after making, but if you do have leftovers, I suggest reheating on the stove in a covered skillet or in an air fryer.
- Feel free to change it up and use your favorite pizza toppings, or even leave the pepperoni out and have just a cheese pizza grilled cheese!
