The base for the pizza butter is tomato paste; you get a
concentrated pizza sauce flavor without the mess of runny, liquify sauce –
which is great on pasta, but not so much on a grilled cheese. Also, precooking the pepperoni enhances the
overall pizza outcome. I used Munster cheese, which is one of my
favorite melty cheeses, it really works well for this.

For The Sandwiches you will need:
12 slices of Italian Bread, sliced
½ lb Munster cheese,
sliced
sliced
4 oz pizza pepperoni
pizza butter (recipe above)
2-3 TBS butter, melted
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add the
pepperoni slices, keep in a single layer, cook for 2 minutes on each side, or
until the slices have curled up and begin rendering. Cook up as much pepperoni as you think you
will use; for mine I used 8 slices per sandwich, 48 slices of pepperoni total
for 6 sandwiches. Transfer cooked
pepperoni onto a few layers of paper towels to drain; wipe out pan.

Divide the pizza butter amongst the 6 sandwich bottoms. Top
with a few slices of cheese, the pepperoni, and another slice or two of cheese
– this makes everything hold together when grilled. Place on the sandwich tops.

Grill 2-3 at a time, brush the top of the bread with melted
butter then place buttered-side down; butter the remaining side. Keeping a medium heat as to not scorch the
bread before the middle melts, grill until golden brown – about 2-3 minutes on
each side. Cool for 1-2 minutes before
slicing, then serve and eat immediately!
