A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese, combining the flavors of pizza into a crispy, cheesy sandwich.
Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
Ensure the butter is evenly spread to achieve a golden crust.
Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, in a preheated skillet.
Preheat the skillet on medium heat for even cooking.
Layer a slice of cheese on the bread in the skillet.
Use a cheese that melts well for a gooey texture.
Spread marinara sauce over the cheese.
Spread the sauce evenly to avoid soggy spots.
Add bell pepper slices and pepperoni on top of the sauce.
Don't overload the sandwich to make flipping easier.
Place another slice of cheese on top of the toppings.
This layer helps bind the sandwich together.
Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up.
Press gently to ensure the sandwich holds together.
Cook until the bottom bread is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
Use a spatula to flip carefully and avoid spilling the fillings.
Remove from the skillet, slice, and serve warm.
Let the sandwich cool slightly before slicing to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
