Step-by-Step Instructions for Pizza Grilled Cheese
  1. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning on the buttered side.
  2. Lay two slices of bread butter-side down. Spread marinara sauce on the inside, then layer with mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, and additional toppings. Top with remaining slices, buttered sides up.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the assembled sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown and cheese is melted.
  4. Remove sandwiches from skillet, let cool for a minute, slice diagonally, and garnish with basil. Serve with warm marinara sauce.
