Ingredients
  

4 slices of sourdough bread

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup pepperoni slices

1/2 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for dipping)

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread: Begin by spreading a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will help create a crispy, golden crust when grilled.

    Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly. Add a generous amount of pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, followed by a few spoonfuls of marinara sauce. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the sauce, then finish off with another layer of mozzarella and cover with the remaining slices of bread, unbuttered side facing inward.

      Heat the Skillet: In a non-stick skillet or frying pan, heat over medium-low heat. Once warm, place one of the assembled sandwiches into the pan.

        Grill to Perfection: Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich over and grill the second side for another 3-4 minutes. If necessary, press down gently on the sandwich with a spatula to help with melting.

          Final Touch: Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the sandwich from the pan and immediately sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese while it’s still hot. This will stick to the bread, adding extra flavor.

            Repeat: Repeat the grilling process for the second sandwich, adding more butter to the skillet if needed.

              Serve and Enjoy: Slice the grilled cheese sandwiches in halves or quarters for easier eating. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
