Step 1

To assemble: Spread each bread slice on one side with 1 teaspoon butter. Lay buttered side down on a griddle, non stick grill pan or in a skillet. (It's best to do this off the heat then place onto the stovetop or heat griddle to give you time to assemble.)

Step 2

Next, spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each bread slice. Top with 1 slice of cheese. 8 slices pepperoni, about 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped basil leaves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce then top with 1/2 cup romaine. Place second slice of cheese and buttered bread slice, buttered-side up.

Step 3

To cook: Heat griddle, grill pan or skillet to medium high heat. Immediately lower to medium. Cook grilled cheese for 3-5 minutes per side, turning once or until golden and cheese has melted.

Step 4

Slice and serve immediately garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley with warm pizza sauce and Caesar salad dressing for dipping.
