Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 8 Slices Artisan Bread
- 8 Tablespoons Pizza Sauce
- 24 Slices Pepperoni
- 8 Slices Cheese (mozzarella recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat the Blackstone grill over medium-high heat, aiming for about 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure optimal grilling temperature.
- Melt Butter on Grill: Place butter on the grill and melt it, then spread evenly across the surface using a spatula to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Grill Bread Base: Place 4 slices of artisan bread on the buttered grill surface to start building the sandwiches.
- Add Sauce and Pepperoni: Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on each slice of bread, then top each slice with 6 slices of pepperoni for a savory layer.
- Add Cheese Layers: Add one slice of cheese atop the pepperoni, then add a second layer of pepperoni and another slice of cheese to build richness and flavor.
- Top with Remaining Bread: Spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce on the remaining 4 bread slices and place them sauce-side down on top of the layered bread slices to complete the sandwiches.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom bread is browned and crispy, then carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 2-3 minutes to brown the other side.
- Serve Warm: Remove the sandwiches from the grill, serve immediately while cheese is melted and warm, and enjoy your pizza grilled cheese.
Notes
- Serving – Best enjoyed immediately to experience the warm melted cheese and crispy pepperoni.
- Griddle – Ensure the flat top grill is preheated to medium-high heat for even cooking.
- Oil the Griddle – Butter the surface well to prevent sticking and promote crispness.
- Variations – Substitute turkey pepperoni for a lighter option.
- Cheese Options – Use mozzarella or experiment with American, parmesan, pepper jack, or Munster cheeses, even combining two types.
- Bread Choices – Any favorite bread such as sourdough, ciabatta, Texas toast, or garlic bread works well.
- Additional Toppings – Add vegetables like chopped onions, mushrooms, olives, or peppers, or meats like sausage crumbles to customize the sandwich.
