Ingredients

8 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
8 slices of bread
12 slices mozzarella cheese
48 slices of pepperoni
Pizza sauce for dipping

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning and mix it together until all is smooth.
Spread the butter over one side of each of the 8 bread slices evenly. Place each slice of bread butter side down on a tray.
Place one slice of mozzarella cheese on the non buttered side of the bread. Then place 9 pepperonis in a single layer on top of the mozzarella cheese. Continue with another layer of mozzarella cheese, pepperonis and one more slice of mozzarella cheese. Top with a slice of bread with butter side facing out.
Heat a 10 inch skillet on the stovetop with medium-low heat. Once the skillet is heated, add the sandwich to the skillet. Cook on one side until golden brown then flip with a spatula. It will only take 3-4 minutes on each side, be sure to keep a close eye on the sandwiches as they cook so they do not burn. Add a lid to the skillet to help the cheese melt in the center of the sandwich. Continue the same process for the remaining sandwiches.
Serve with warm pizza sauce.
