Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick-cut sourdough bread

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup pepperoni slices

1/4 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for dipping)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, oregano, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Assemble the Sandwich: Take two slices of sourdough bread. Spread 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce on one side of each slice. On the unsauced side, pile on half of the cheese and pepperoni mixture.

      Top It Off: Place the other two slices of sourdough bread on top of the cheese filling, unsauced side down, forming two sandwiches.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is bubbly, carefully place one sandwich in the skillet.

          Cook the Sandwich: Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully using a spatula and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

            Finish Cooking: Grill the second side for another 3-4 minutes, maintaining a medium heat until the cheese is melted and gooey.

              Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting it in half. Serve with additional marinara sauce for dipping and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
