Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, gently combine the grated mozzarella cheese, chopped fresh basil leaves, and pizza sauce. Mix until well incorporated. Set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare the Bread: Evenly spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. This will create a golden-brown, crispy exterior when grilled. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Grill the Sandwich: Heat a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices, mayonnaise-side down, in the hot skillet. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over one slice of bread. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Cook Until Golden: Cook the sandwich until the bread turns a beautiful golden-brown color and the mozzarella cheese is melted and gooey, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. (3-5 minutes)

05

Step

Assemble and Serve: Carefully place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese mixture, grilled-side up, creating a sandwich. Remove from the skillet, slice in half (optional), and serve immediately for the best experience. (2 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
Experiment with different types of cheese, such as provolone or a blend of Italian cheeses.
Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

    I tried it with sourdough bread, and it was amazing! The tanginess of the bread complemented the pizza flavors perfectly.
