Easy to make and perfect for a quick meal, this sandwich brings all the flavors of pizza into a portable, cheesy treat.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni (or any pizza toppings you prefer)
  • 1/4 cup sliced bell pepper (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for grilling)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  • Assemble the sandwich: Spread pizza sauce on one side of each slice of bread. On one slice of bread, layer the shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and any other desired toppings like bell pepper or mushrooms. Top with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  • Grill the sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread butter on the outside of both slices of bread. Place the sandwich, buttered side down, onto the hot skillet. Grill for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
  • Flip and cook: Carefully flip the sandwich over and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy and golden.
  • Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice it in half and serve hot with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can add any of your favorite pizza toppings like olives, onions, or sausage.
  • For extra crunch, try using a crispy baguette or ciabatta bread.
  • If you’re looking for a bit more spice, sprinkle red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the sandwich.
