Ingredients
  

4 slices of sourdough bread

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup pepperoni slices

¼ cup marinara sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Assembly: On a clean surface, lay out the sourdough bread slices. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on two slices (these will be the inside of the sandwich).

    Add Cheese and Toppings: Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the marinara sauce. Layer the pepperoni slices over the cheese and sprinkle Italian seasoning for added flavor.

      Finish with More Cheese: Add another layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni, ensuring an ooey-gooey center when grilled. Place the remaining two slices of sourdough bread on top to complete the sandwich.

        Oil the Bread: Brush the outside of the sandwiches with olive oil to help achieve a golden and crispy texture when grilled.

          Grill the Sandwich: In a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwiches. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down slightly with a spatula to ensure even melting. Once both sides are golden brown, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and cover the skillet for 1-2 more minutes until the cheese inside is fully melted.

            Slice and Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to rest for a minute. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally, revealing the melted cheese and pepperoni.

              Garnish and Enjoy: If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Pair with a small bowl of marinara sauce for dipping!
