# Ingredients:
01 -
8 slices of Italian sandwich bread
02 -
6 tablespoons of melted salted butter (sweet cream)
03 -
1 tablespoon of olive oil (extra virgin)
04 -
1 teaspoon of onion powder
05 -
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning (dried)
06 -
48 slices of pepperoni (12 slices for each sandwich)
07 -
2 cups of grated mozzarella (1/2 cup for each sandwich)
08 -
8 slices of smoked provolone cheese
09 -
8 tablespoons of pizza sauce
# Steps:
01 -
In a little bowl, mix together the melted butter, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and onion powder. Stir it up until it's combined well.
02 -
Put a nonstick skillet (10-12 inches) on medium heat.
03 -
Take 2 slices of bread. Brush one side of each with the butter mix and lay them in the skillet, buttered side facing the pan.
04 -
Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on the bread slices in the skillet. Layer it up: first a slice of provolone, then 1/4 cup mozzarella, next 12 pepperoni slices, another 1/4 cup mozzarella, then a provolone slice. Add another slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
05 -
Let each sandwich cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.
06 -
Cut each sandwich in half and serve while it’s still warm.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Let your cheese sit out for 15-20 minutes before assembling to help it melt better.
02 -
You can use a panini press if you don’t want to use a skillet.
03 -
Adjust the heat as you cook to avoid burning.
