Servings: 4
Ingredients
Pizza Grilled Cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano or dried Italian seasoning
- 8 slices thick sliced bread
- ¼ cup pizza sauce
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
- 16 slices pepperoni optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, and oregano together.
- Brush one side of each slice of bread with the olive oil mixture. Place four slices, seasoned side down, on a work surface. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each slice. Top each with 2 slices of provolone cheese, 4 slices of pepperoni, and 2 slices of mozzarella cheese. Place the remaining bread slices on top, seasoned side up, to form 4 sandwiches.
- Place the prepared sandwiches on a griddle or large saute pan and cook over medium heat, 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and cheese is melted.
Notes
Note on Bread: Feel free to use any type of thick bread you like for these sandwiches, even gluten-free!
Cheese: Feel free to use all provolone or all mozzarella cheese.
Alternative to Pepperoni: Try sliced olives, mushrooms, spinach, or simply make Cheese Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Whatever filling you select, be cautious to not overstuff your sandwiches and blot any wet toppings dry with a paper towel before adding to sandwiches.
Air-Fryer Instructions: Air fry sandwiches at 350°F for 4 minutes. Flip and air fry for 3-4 more minutes, or until golden brown and melty.
