Pizza Grilled Cheese is a delicious twist on a classic grilled cheese sandwich, combining the flavors of a pizza with the comforting crunch of grilled bread. Hereβs a simple recipe to make your own Pizza Grilled Cheese at home:
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (sourdough or Italian bread works well)
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6-8 slices of pepperoni (or your preferred pizza toppings)
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, butter side down, on a skillet over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of marinara or pizza sauce on the non-buttered side of the bread.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce. Add the pepperoni slices or other toppings of your choice.
- Finish the Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings, then place the second slice of bread on top, butter side up.
- Grill the Sandwich: Cook the sandwich until the bottom slice of bread is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook the other side until it is also golden brown and the cheese inside is melted, about 3-4 minutes more.
- Season and Serve: If desired, sprinkle a little Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese on top. Slice the sandwich in half and serve hot.
Enjoy your gooey, cheesy, and delicious Pizza Grilled Cheese!
