Ingredients
Scale
For the Sandwich:
- 2 slices thick bread (sourdough or Texas toast)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 slices high-quality pepperoni
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- 1. Gather Your Tools
- Get a skillet or frying pan and a spatula ready for cooking.
- 2. Prepare Your Ingredients
- Lay out all your ingredients: butter, bread, cheddar cheese, pepperoni slices, and Parmesan cheese.
- 3. Butter Up
- Spread a generous layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- 4. Assemble Your Sandwich
- On the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, layer half the cheddar cheese followed by the pepperoni slices. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and close the sandwich with the second slice of bread (buttered side facing out).
- 5. Heat Things Up
- Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes), then flip carefully using your spatula.
- 6. Finish Strong
- Once both sides are crispy and golden brown (and oozing melted cheese), remove from heat. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top while still hot for added flavor.
- 7. Serve Immediately
- Slice diagonally to reveal the melty center, and serve alongside tomato soup or potato chips for the perfect comfort food pairing.
