I give grilled cheese a special treatment by using slices of mozzarella cheese and adding delicious extras like pepperoni and fresh tomatoes. Dipped in warm pizza sauce, this will be a fast favorite! —Mary Monaco, Columbus, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 8 slices Italian bread (3/4 inch thick)
  • 8 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 8 slices tomato
  • 4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 24 slices pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • Pizza sauce, warmed

Directions

  1. On four slices of bread, layer one slice of mozzarella, two slices of tomato, 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese, a dash of garlic salt and six slices pepperoni. Top with remaining mozzarella and bread. Spread outside of sandwiches with butter.
  2. On a hot griddle, toast sandwiches until golden brown, 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with pizza sauce.
