Ingredients

4 slices of sandwich bread
1 tablespoon tomato sauce per sandwich I like to use the tomato, basil garlic flavors
6-9 pepperoni slices per sandwich
1/4 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese per sandwich. I like them cheesy adjust as desired, you can also use a slice of mozzarella cheese.
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon Paprika
1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions

Add oil to a small bowl and mix in Italian Seasoning, Salt, Pepper, Paprika, and garlic.
Using a pastry brush, cover 1 side of 2 pieces of bread. Flip over
Add 1/2 tablespoon of sauce per slice of bread.
Layer 6-9 slices of pepperoni onto slices (I like to cover the entire sandwich with the pepperoni slices.)
Add mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni slices.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of sauce on each of the second slice of bread for each sandwich and place the slice of bread sauce side down on top of the cheese on the other slice of bread as the top piece of bread.
Brush the top of the bread with the oil mixture.
Heat non-stick frying pan on medium heat and place the sandwich with pepperoni side down into the pan. Fry for 4-5 minutes until bread is toasted golden brown, then flip over.
Fry for another 3-4 minutes until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. You may need to adjust the time depending on how much cheese you added.
