Making your Pizza Grilled Cheese can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Butter the first slice: Spread butter on one side of the first slice of bread.
3. Assemble the base: Place the slice butter-side down on the skillet. Layer one slice of mozzarella cheese on top.
4. Add marinara sauce: Spread a tablespoon of marinara sauce over the mozzarella cheese.
5. Layer toppings: Add a mix of pepperoni, bell peppers, and Italian seasoning on top of the marinara.
6. Top with cheese: Place another slice of mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
7. Complete the sandwich: Butter one side of a second slice of bread and place it on top of the cheese, butter-side up.
8. Cook the first side: Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
9. Flip the sandwich: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
