Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your preference)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup sliced pepperoni or any desired pizza toppings (such as cooked sausage, bell peppers, onions, etc.)
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional: additional pizza toppings (mushrooms, olives, etc.)

Method

Preheat the Sandwich Press or Skillet:
- If you have a sandwich press, preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. If not, you can use a skillet over medium heat.

Assemble the Sandwich:
- Lay out the four slices of bread on a clean surface.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly on one side of each slice.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce on two slices.
- Add the desired pizza toppings, such as sliced pepperoni or any other ingredients you prefer, on top of the cheese.
- Optional: Add additional pizza toppings, like mushrooms or olives, for extra flavor.

Combine and Grill:
- Carefully place the slices of bread with the toppings on the slices without toppings, creating two sandwiches.
- Spread softened butter on the outer sides of each sandwich.
- Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder on top of the buttered sides.

Cook the Sandwiches:
- If using a sandwich press, place the sandwiches in the press and close the lid. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- If using a skillet, heat the skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, pressing them gently with a spatula, until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.

Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the press or skillet.
- Allow them to cool for a minute, then slice them in half diagonally to create two triangular portions.
- Serve the Pizza Sandwiches warm and enjoy them with your dad for a delightful Father's Day breakfast.
