Ingredients

  • 8 slices Texas toast extra thick white bread
  • 3 tablespoons butter softened
  • 8 ½-ounce slices mozzarella cheese
  • 8 ½-ounce slices cheddar or American cheese
  • 12 slices thin pepperoni
  • 1 ½ TBS corn meal
  • 1 ½ TBS Parmesan cheese
  • Oil for greasing
  • 1 TBS dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce

Instructions

  • Spread butter on 1 side of each slice of bread with butter. Layer 4 slices bread, buttered-side down, with 2 slices of Italian Blend cheese and 2 slices of Deli American Cheese. Top with 3 slices of pepperoni and remaining bread, buttered-side up.
  • In a small bowl, mix together corn meal and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture on the buttered bread and press down so the corn meal mixture sticks to the bread.
  • Grease a large skillet or griddle and bring to medium heat. Place sandwiches (as many that can fit) onto skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until sandwiches are golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
  • Sprinkle sandwiches with Italian seasoning. Serve with sauce.
