• 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella, divided
• Pepperoni Slices
• 1 tablespoon finely grated parmesan, plus more for garnish
• 1 fresh basil leaf

Directions

❶ Assemble the sandwich, spread butter on the outside of two slices of the Rustic Italian or 100% Whole Grain . On the inside of one slice, spread one tablespoon pizza sauce, then top with 3/4 cup mozzarella, a few slices of pepperoni (optional), parmesan, and basil. Top with remaining slice of bread, buttered side up.
❷ In a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat, cook sandwich until crispy, five minutes per side. Spread two teaspoons pizza sauce on top of the sandwich, then top with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella and the remaining pepperoni slices. Bake until cheese is melty and golden and/or the pepperoni is crispy, 2-3 minutes at 400° F.
