Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite guilty pleasure that’s perfect for those late-night cravings! 🌙✨ Trust me, this loaded pizza grilled cheese sandwich will have you ditching those basic midnight snacks forever.
Picture this: crispy, buttery bread hugging melted mozzarella and pepperoni, with a secret garlic butter spread that’ll make your taste buds dance. And the best part? It only takes 10 minutes to make! _chef’s kiss_
Here’s what you’ll need, besties:
– 2 slices of thick bread (I prefer sourdough, but you do you!)
– 2 tablespoons butter, softened
– 2 slices mozzarella cheese
– 6-8 pepperoni slices
– 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– Marinara sauce for dipping (optional, but like, why wouldn’t you?)
Let me walk you through this heavenly creation:
1. Mix the softened butter with minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Y’all, this is where the magic happens!
1. Spread that gorgeous garlic butter on one side of each bread slice. Don’t be shy with it!
1. On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer your mozzarella, then add pepperoni. Top with the second slice (buttered side up).
1. Heat your skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place your sandwich in there and let it sizzle for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
1. Flip it carefully (we don’t want any cheese casualties!) and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

The key to perfection is pressing down gently with your spatula to get that cheese all melty and gorgeous. When both sides are golden brown and the cheese is oozing out just a little bit (you know what I’m talking about 😉), it’s ready to devour!
Slice it diagonally (because we’re fancy like that), and serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping. The combination of the crispy, buttery exterior with the melty cheese and spicy pepperoni is absolutely everything!
This is seriously the kind of snack that makes you want to do a happy dance in your kitchen at 2 AM – not that I’ve done that or anything… 😏
