Ingrédients
- 4 slices bread white, whole grain, or sourdough

Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients — slice cheese, portion out pizza sauce, and have pepperoni or other toppings ready.
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Add a layer of cheese, a spoonful of pizza sauce, pepperoni, and another slice of cheese.

Notes
For a flavor boost, sprinkle oregano or basil between layers. To make it vegetarian, skip the pepperoni or use plant-based meat alternatives. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet for best results.
