Ingredients
- 2 slices of sourdough or ciabatta bread
- 2 tbsp chili crisp oil (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3-4 slices of pepperoni (optional)
- 2 tbsp pizza sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp oregano
- 1 tbsp butter (for grilling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread
Spread a generous layer of chili crisp on one side of each slice of bread. This will infuse the sandwich with a rich, spicy flavor. - Assemble the Sandwich
On one slice of bread (chili crisp side up), spread pizza sauce evenly. Add mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, and pepperoni slices (if using). Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano for extra flavor. - Grill to Perfection
Heat a pan over medium heat and add butter. Place the sandwich in the pan and cook until the bread is golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula to help the cheese melt evenly. - Serve and Enjoy
Once the sandwich is crispy and the cheese is perfectly melted, remove it from the pan. Let it cool slightly before slicing in half. Serve with extra chili crisp for dipping if you love an extra kick of spice!
Tips for Success
- Use a sturdy bread like sourdough or ciabatta to hold the fillings without getting soggy.
- Adjust the amount of chili crisp based on your spice tolerance. Start with a small amount and add more if you like it extra fiery.
- For a smoky twist, use a mix of smoked mozzarella or provolone with your cheese blend.
