SANDWICH BREAD IS PERFECT

Although I made this recipe with honey wheat sandwich bread, use white, whole wheat or whatever you prefer.

My recipe calls for each slice of bread to be toasted on both sides in a skillet with melted butter.   The following easy steps show you how to do it.  

 

BEFORE TOASTING BREAD, PREPARE CHEDDAR CHEESE 

Place pepperoni pieces, sliced cheddar cheese (from block) or shredded cheddar cheese in a bowl close to the stove.

If using sliced cheese, remove the plastic from each slice.

 

MELT BUTTER (SALTED OR UNSALTED) IN SKILLET

Place 2 tablespoons of butter (salted or unsalted) in a skillet over medium heat on top of the stove.   This is for 2 slices.  Use more or less as preferred.

 

COAT BOTH SIDES OF SANDWICH BREAD IN MELTED BUTTER

Use a spatula to slide bread around skillet to absorb melted butter (or margarine).

Flip over and repeat to coat second side. 

 

 

BROWN ONE SIDE OF SLICED BREAD AND FLIP OVER

Brown one side of buttered bread over medium heat (3o to 35 seconds).

Do not leave stove to avoid burnt toast.

FLIP OVER & REDUCE HEAT TO LOW

After reducing heat, quickly arrange cheddar cheese on top of toasted side.

WARM PEPPERONI PIECES IN SAME SKILLET

Arrange pepperoni pieces in a single layer in skillet.  Warm for about 30 seconds. 

They warm up quickly.  Avoid cooking too long. 

After pepperoni pieces are warm, remove from saucepan and drain on a folded paper towel.
