Ingredients
  

4 slices of crusty sourdough bread

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup pepperoni slices

1/4 cup marinara sauce

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and Italian seasoning until well combined.

    Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two slices of sourdough bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce on each slice. On one slice, pile on the cheese and pepperoni mixture, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor. Top with the second slice of bread, sauce side down.

      Butter the Outside: Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the outer sides of the sandwich.

        Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and add the remaining butter to the skillet, cooking the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, about another 3-4 minutes.

          Slice and Serve: Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Slice it diagonally in half.

            Garnish: Serve warm, drizzled with a little extra marinara sauce on the side and garnished with fresh basil leaves.
