Ingredients
- 4 slices Bread (white, sourdough, or wheat)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded or sliced)
- 12 slices Pepperoni slices
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder over the butter for extra flavor.
Step 3
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the heated skillet.
Step 4
Add a layer of shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 cup per sandwich) onto each slice of bread in the skillet.
Step 5
Evenly distribute six slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese layer on each sandwich.
Step 6
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
Step 7
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to encourage even browning and melting. Flip the sandwiches carefully using the spatula.
Step 8
Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has fully melted.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Let them cool slightly, then slice diagonally if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Pepperoni Grilled Cheese Sandwiches!
