Pepperoni Grilled Cheese image

This elevated recipe takes everything you know and love about garlic bread and pizza, and combines it into a grilled cheese sandwich unlike any other. We slather the outside of the bread with an assertive garlic Parmesan butter to create a delicious golden brown, crispy exterior. Layers of melted mozzarella and pepperoni make up the inside.
