Seasonal Adaptations
Switch out the pepperoni for sliced ripe tomato in summer Add baby spinach or thinly sliced zucchini in spring for a veggie-packed version Spread a thin layer of jarred pesto with the pizza sauce in autumn for extra warmth
Helpful Notes
If using store bought bread lay slices out to dry for a few minutes first to help them hold up Preheating the skillet fully makes the bread crisp up rather than steam Leftover garlic butter is amazing on roasted vegetables
Success Stories
My friend made these with gluten free bread for her daughter and said it was the first time her kid begged for a second helping. Another reader told me his college housemates started a weekly pizza grilled cheese night using this recipe. I even had a neighbor ask for them at her game day party after tasting one.
Freezer Meal Conversion
To freeze assemble and grill the sandwiches then cool and wrap tightly in foil and place in an airtight bag before freezing. When ready to eat thaw overnight in the refrigerator and revive in a toaster oven or pan.
