Ingredients
– 2 slices of bread (your choice: white, whole wheat, or sourdough)

– ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ¼ cup pizza sauce
– ¼ cup assorted pizza toppings (pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
– 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
– Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
Creating delicious Pizza Grilled Cheese doesn’t have to be complicated. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Bread: Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will create a golden crust when grilled.
2. Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread a layer of pizza sauce. Then, add shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
3. Add Toppings: Layer your chosen pizza toppings over the cheese. If desired, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
4. Top It Off: Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out, pressing gently to secure the sandwich.
5. Heat the Pan: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the skillet.
6. Cook Until Golden: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is also golden and the cheese is melted.
7. Remove and Slice: Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half to reveal the gooey, cheesy goodness inside.
8. Serve with Extra Sauce: If desired, serve with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
By following these steps, you’ll create a mesmerizing Pizza Grilled Cheese that is sure to impress!
