Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 6 English muffins
- Pizza sauce (about 1/2 cup, divided)
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
- Sliced pepperoni (about 18 slices)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Muffins: Spray the outside of each side of each English muffin half with cooking spray to ensure a crispy and golden exterior when grilled.
- Assemble Base: Open up each English muffin and place it inside face up as the base for your sandwich.
- Add Sauce: Spread the desired amount of pizza sauce evenly onto the inside face of the muffin halves.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the pizza sauce on each muffin half.
- Add Pepperoni: Arrange three slices of pepperoni on top of the cheese on one side of each sandwich.
- Form Sandwich: Carefully place the top half of the muffin over the pepperoni and cheese to complete the sandwich.
- Prepare Pie Iron: Place each sandwich inside a preheated pie iron, carefully closing it to seal the sandwich inside.
- Grill: Grill the sandwich over a campfire or open flame for approximately 4-7 minutes per side, flipping carefully to achieve a crispy, golden crust.
- Check Doneness: Open the pie iron cautiously and check if the sandwich is crispy and the cheese is melted to your liking.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich, let it cool briefly, then enjoy your warm, melty pizza sandwich!
Notes
- You can customize toppings by adding vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms inside the sandwich.
- If you don’t have a pie iron, you can try using a cast-iron skillet with a lid for similar results over a campfire or stovetop.
- Adjust grilling time depending on the heat of your fire to avoid burning.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the pepperoni or use a vegetarian alternative.
- Ensure the pie iron is well-oiled or sprayed with cooking spray before use to prevent sticking.
