Ingredients
  

Sandwiches
  • 4 thick slices sourdough bread
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 4 tbsp pizza sauce
  • 20 slices pepperoni 10 per sandwich
Garlic-Herb Compound Butter
  • 4 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese finely shredded

Method
 

  1. Melt butter and stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and shredded parmesan to make compound butter.
  2. Spread pizza sauce on one side of each bread slice. Layer mozzarella, 10 pepperoni slices, and Colby Jack on two slices, then top with remaining bread.
  3. Brush the top of each sandwich generously with compound butter.
  4. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches buttered-side down. Brush the top sides with remaining butter. Cook 4-5 minutes until deep golden brown.
  5. Flip and cook another 4-5 minutes until second side is golden and cheese is fully melted. Remove from pan and rest 3-4 minutes before slicing.
