This pepperoni pizza grilled cheese sandwich is two classic favorites blended into one. With pepperoni, mozzarella, pizza sauce, and black olives, this is no plain grilled cheese sandwich. I'm a meat and sauce kind of gal so I came up with this. Feel free to use other pizza toppings if you like.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 4 slices white bread

  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce

  • 12 slices pepperoni

  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Place butter in a small microwavable dish. Microwave on High until melted, about 25 seconds. Stir in Italian seasoning and garlic powder.

  2. Place 2 slices of bread on a clean work surface. Spread half of butter mixture onto 2 slices of bread; turn bread slices over. Using a spoon, spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce evenly over each slice, all the way to the edges.

  3. Top each slice with 6 pepperoni slices; scatter evenly with olives, and top each with 1/4 cup mozzarella. Place a plain bread slice on top.

  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat, and place each sandwich in the skillet,  butter-side-down down. Cook until golden, about 3 minutes.

  5. Spread remaining seasoned butter over tops of sandwiches. Carefully turn each sandwich over, and cook until cheese is melted and bread is golden, about 3 minutes more. Transfer sandwiches to a plate, cut in half, and serve immediately.
