This recipe elevates the classic grilled cheese sandwich with the addition of pepperoni and a touch of Dijon mustard for a gourmet twist.
Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Ensure the butter is softened for easy spreading.
Place one slice of American cheese, eight slices of pepperoni, and one slice of Colby cheese on the unbuttered side of two bread slices.
Layer the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
Press gently to secure the sandwich.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwiches in the skillet.
Preheat the skillet for even cooking.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the bottom bread is golden brown.
The lid helps melt the cheese thoroughly.
Flip the sandwiches and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Use a spatula to press down slightly for a crispier texture.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
