  1. Assemble
    1. Spread pesto over 4 slices of bread and pizza sauce over the other 4 slices. Layer mozzarella slices on the pesto slices, top with pepperoni, then close each sandwich with a pizza sauce slice, sauce side down.
    8 slice Italian bread slices, about 1/2 inch thick, 8 slice Mozzarella cheese, sliced, 0.5 cup Pizza sauce, 4 tbsp Basil pesto, 24 slice Pepperoni slices
  2. 2. Spread softened butter generously over the outside top and bottom of each sandwich so the bread crisps and browns evenly.
    3 tbsp Butter, softened
  3. Grill
    3. Heat a large skillet, griddle or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crisp and the mozzarella is melted.
  4. 4. Rest the sandwiches for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve hot while the cheese is molten.
