Cooking Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth.
- Spread the garlic-butter mixture on one side of each bread slice.
- Place one buttered slice, butter-side down, in a heated skillet over medium heat.
- Spread pizza sauce on the bread in the skillet, then layer with shredded mozzarella and pepperoni (or your chosen toppings).
- Top with more cheese if desired and then cover with a second slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt. Cook 3–5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until it’s golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
