Ingredients
  

2 slices of sourdough bread

2 tablespoons marinara sauce

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup pepperoni slices (or any preferred toppings like bell peppers, mushrooms)

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

    Spread 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

      On one slice, layer the shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the cheddar cheese, then the pepperoni slices.

        Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on top of the pepperoni.

          Place the other slice of bread, sauce side down, on top of the layered ingredients to form a sandwich.

            Carefully press down the sandwich with a spatula, allowing the cheeses to begin melting together.

              Add olive oil or butter to the skillet around the edges of the sandwich, letting it seep in.

                Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

                  Flip the sandwich gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, ensuring the cheese is melted and gooey.

                    Once both sides are golden and everything is nicely melted, remove from heat and let it cool for a minute.

                      Slice the grilled cheese in half and serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
