2 slices Italian bread
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 1/2 tablespoons pizza sauce (can use ketchup )
2 ounces mozzarella cheese, divided (or any type of Italian cheese )
1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning (add more if you like )
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 slices pepperoni, finely chopped

  • Sprinkle with seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes,if using extras and them at this time.
  • Top the seasoned cheese with the chopped pepperoni,and cover pepperoni with remaining cheese.
  • Take remaining side of bread, butter one side and place unbuttered side on top of the cheese.
  • Grill sandwich over medium heat on each side ( be careful when turning over so you won't lose the filling ) until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using a good quality cheese, pepperoni, and bread. Freshly grated cheese will melt better than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're making multiple sandwiches, cook them in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the sandwiches over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning before the cheese has a chance to melt.
  • Use a spatula to press down on the sandwiches as they cook. This will help the cheese to melt evenly and prevent the bread from getting soggy.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
