Pizza Sandwiches

We started a new 'thing' at our house. Well, it's not new anymore, but new since my last post. Tuesday nights are "Kid's Night". Which basically means each week the boys take turns planning a meal. They do this over the weekend before I get groceries, they make sure we have all the ingredients, and when Tuesday rolls around, they make dinner. I supervise. I chose Tuesday because we normally don't have a lot going on on Tuesdays, so if dinner takes a bit longer that's okay. I'm hoping that eventually my supervisory role will be diminished as their cooking skills improve. And looking into the future, I also hope that my daughter-in-laws thank me for making sure their hubbies know how to cook for them. And eventually the princess will learn how to cook this way as well.
Pizza Sandwiches is one of the first choices my 11 year old made, and they were fairly quick, and certainly easy enough for him to make.
Here is the list of ingredients:

• 8 slices Italian bread (3/4 inch thick) - but seriously, we used regular white bread, and they were just fine
• 8 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 8 slices tomato (slice thin)
• 4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 24 slices pepperoni
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• Pizza sauce, warmed

Obviously this only makes 4 sandwiches, but it's easy enough to double up everything and make 8. Or only make 6. Hey, you could even be crazy and only make 7. Whatever floats your boat.

Let's put these sandwiches together.

On four slices of bread layer one slice of mozzarella, two slices of tomato, 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese, a dash of garlic salt and six slices of pepperoni. Top with remaining mozzarella and bread. Spread outside of sandwiches with butter.

Grill sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with pizza sauce.

These were really quite good. I did help with the flipping of the sandwiches, as he tends to get carried away and I didn't want any pepperoni stuck to the ceiling.
