Pizza Grilled Cheese

We are a pizza-loving house, but because of the cost of eating pizza and the fact that it is very unhealthy, we don't eat it very often.  When I found this recipe, I was interested in trying it and surprised to find it was a quick and easy WIN.  We loved these! The original recipe is here.

Pizza Grilled Cheese


Ingredients:

4 slices of bread
butter or margarine
4 slices of mozzarella cheese
pepperoni
Basil
pizza sauce for dipping

In order to be healthier, I used Sara Lee 45 Calories & Delightful bread, Brummel & Brown yogurt margarine, and turkey pepperoni.  I accidentally got provolone slices instead of mozzarella, but it was just as delicious.  I made it a second time with mozarella slices and it tasted the same.


Directions:
These are made just like regular grilled cheese sandwiches.  Butter each piece of bread on one side, while the skillet it heating up.  I usually spray the pan with Pam. 

 Place a piece of bread butter side down on the skillet then add one slice of cheese and small shake of Basil.  (Most instructions for grilled cheese always instruct butter side down, that works unless you are using low cal bread like we are.  If you are using flimsy bread, I suggest not placing the bread butter side down.) Top with pepperonis and any other toppings you'd like to add, then another slice of cheese.

(I added a dash of pepper on there.) Top with a slice bread butter side up. Repeat with second sandwich. When bottom slice is golden brown then flip over carefully. Once both sides are brown remove from pan cut and serve with pizza sauce if desired.

Makes 2 sandwiches.  Definitely will repeat this recipe again!  Yay!

Very good!
