– ¼ cup pepperoni slices (or your favorite toppings—see variations!)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into making our Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Start by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. While that warms up, butter one side of each slice of bread. This helps to create the perfect golden crust. Next, place one slice of bread in the skillet, buttered side down. Assemble your pizza goodness by layering half of the mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the pizza sauce, your favorite toppings (like pepperoni or veggies), and then the remaining mozzarella cheese. Finally, top it with the other slice of bread, buttered side facing up. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
