It’s cheesy, it’s easy, and oh-so-delicious! This Pizza Grilled Cheese brings together the best of pizza and grilled cheese in one scrumptious sandwich.
# Ingredients:
01 -
½ cup unsalted butter, very soft.
02 -
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese.

# Instructions:

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the softened butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth and well combined.

Spread the butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread slices butter side up on a sheet tray.
