Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese with Pizza Butter

Hey all my #LoveBakesGoodCakesPeeps!  It’s me, Kim from Soliloquy Of Food &Such – AGAIN!!  Today I am sharing my Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheese – with Pizza Butter.

Okay.  I know you’re like….pizza butter?  Say whaaat??  Lemme just tell you….it’s amazing…. that I am breaking Kim’s Cardinal Rule #654:  do not overuse the word amazing….it’s that good.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. 

This is a great idea for your next lazy day meal – or if you are looking for something new to feed a crowd. 
In just minutes you can transform your regular grilled cheese sandwich into a pepperoni pizza!

Ingredients

For The Pizza Butter

• 5 TBS tomato paste
• 2 TBS plus 2 tsp butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

For The Sandwiches you will need

• 12 slices of Italian Bread, sliced
• 1/2 lb Munster cheese, sliced
• 4 oz pizza pepperoni pizza butter (recipe above)
• 2-3 TBS butter, melted

Instructions

For The Pizza Butter:

1. In a small bowl add the melted butter to the tomato paste and quickly stir together until fluffy. 
2. Stir in the remaining seasonings; set aside. 

For The Sandwiches:

1. 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. 
2. Transfer cooked pepperoni onto a few layers of paper towels to drain; wipe out pan. 
3. 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. 
4. Place on the sandwich tops.  
5. 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. 
6. Cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing, then serve and eat immediately!
