Ingredients:
- 8 slices of bread (Italian or your choice)
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 16-20 slices pepperoni
- 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread: Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices, butter side down, on a clean surface.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a tablespoon of marinara or pizza sauce on the unbuttered side of each slice. Layer shredded mozzarella cheese, 4-5 slices of pepperoni, and a sprinkle of oregano or garlic powder if desired. Top with another slice of bread, butter side up.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. For extra flavor, sprinkle the outside of the sandwiches with grated Parmesan while grilling.
- Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
