Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices slices of bread Use whole-grain or your choice of bread.
- 2 slices slices of cheese (mozzarella or cheddar) Low-moisture mozzarella is preferred for stretch.
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce Choose your favorite brand or homemade sauce.
- 1/4 cup turkey pepperoni slices or your choice of pizza toppings Substitute with bell peppers, olives, onions, or mushrooms.
- Butter For grilling.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Let it warm up for a couple of minutes.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread, adjusting the amount based on preference for crispiness.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet and wait 30–60 seconds until it sets.
- Spread pizza sauce on the bread, layer on cheese, and add your choice of toppings.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up, and press gently.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes.
- If the cheese isn't melting, cover the skillet with a lid briefly.
- Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove from skillet, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
Keep the heat moderate to ensure the cheese melts well without burning the bread. For make-ahead, assemble up to 24 hours in advance.
