Meet the Pizza Grilled Cheese—a mouthwatering mash-up that combines the gooey goodness of a classic grilled cheese sandwich with the irresistible flavors of pizza.

Ingredients:
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or even Italian!)
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 slices of mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce or pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- A pinch of dried oregano and basil
- Optional: sliced pepperoni, mushrooms, or other pizza toppings
Instructions:
- Butter It Up: Start by spreading butter on one side of each bread slice. This will give your sandwich that perfect golden-brown crust.
- Layer Up: On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread a layer of marinara sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, oregano, and basil. Add any optional toppings if desired.
- Assemble: Place the second slice of bread, buttered side up, on top of the cheesy layer to complete your sandwich.
- Grill to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwich in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is perfectly melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let your Pizza Grilled Cheese cool for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve it with a side of extra marinara sauce for dipping, and enjoy!
