    Stove Top Instructions:

    1. Lay slices of bread on a cutting board or plate. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.

    2. Turn the slices of bread over and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each slice of bread.

    3. To one slice of bread layer on mozzarella cheese, ham, 6 pepperoni slices, and more mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with some Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Top with the remaining slice of bread, butter side up, to make a sandwich.

    4. Cook the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat, flipping once until golden brown on both sides.

    Recipe Variations And Substitutions:

    • Try adding other meats like cooked bacon or sausage crumbles.
    • I used shredded mozzarella, but you can also use sliced mozzarella cheese.
    • Mayo can be used instead of butter.
    • No ham? No worries, just add some extra pepperoni.

    Storage And Reheating Instructions:

    • This sandwich is best when eaten fresh. If you do have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
    • To reheat, preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit and heat for 2-3 minutes until warm.

    Pro Tips:

    • The air fryer I used was the Instant Vortex Plus 6 quart. Since all air fryers are different, you will need to adjust the cook time based on the air fryer you are using.
    • You may need to use toothpicks to hold the sandwich down if using really thin bread.
    • Use a good quality bread for best results. I used country style sliced bread. I love it because it's thick and holds up well in the air fryer.
    • Use a large pancake spatula to make it easier to place the sandwich into the air fryer basket.
    • Be sure to check on your sandwich halfway through the cooking process. It’s cooks really fast!
