Instructions

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer mozzarella cheese, pepperoni slices, and drizzle with marinara sauce. Top with another layer of mozzarella.
Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out, and press gently to compact the sandwich.
Cook in the skillet for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy and cheese is melted.
Let cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve with extra marinara sauce.
