This pepperoni pizza grilled cheese sandwich is two classic favorites blended into one. With pepperoni, mozzarella, pizza sauce, and black olives, this is no plain grilled cheese sandwich. I'm a meat and sauce kind of gal so I came up with this. Feel free to use other pizza toppings if you like.

Stages of cooking
-
Place butter in a small microwavable dish. Microwave on High until melted, about 25 seconds. Stir in Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
-
Place 2 slices of bread on a clean work surface. Spread half of butter mixture onto 2 slices of bread; turn bread slices over. Using a spoon, spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce evenly over each slice, all the way to the edges.
-
Top each slice with 6 pepperoni slices; scatter evenly with olives, and top each with 1/4 cup mozzarella. Place a plain bread slice on top.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat, and place each sandwich in the skillet, butter-side-down down. Cook until golden, about 3 minutes.
-
Spread remaining seasoned butter over tops of sandwiches. Carefully turn each sandwich over, and cook until cheese is melted and bread is golden, about 3 minutes more. Transfer sandwiches to a plate, cut in half, and serve immediately.
