Ingredients
  

For the Pizza Grilled Cheese:

  • 4 slices bread your choice
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices optional
  • 1 tbsp butter softened

Instructions
 

Prepare Sandwich:

  • Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer mozzarella, pizza sauce, and pepperoni if using.

Assemble:

  • Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side out, forming sandwiches.

Cook:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese melts.

Serve:

  • Slice in half and serve hot with extra pizza sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Assemble sandwiches and refrigerate up to 2 hours before cooking.
  • Variations: Add veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms inside for extra flavor.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side salad, chips, or extra pizza sauce for dipping.
  • Storage Tips: Best served fresh. Reheat in a skillet or oven; avoid microwaving to keep bread crispy.
