Grilled Pepperoni Pizza Waffle Sandwich

Every now and then I like to get a little absurd with my recipes. Put a Pepperoni Pizza, Grilled Cheese sandwich, and waffle iron alone in a room and what do you get? Besides a bad dad joke, an amazing lunch!

If you’re looking to make a quick, easy and fun after school snack, lunch, dinner, maybe even breakfast, using a waffle iron to make a grilled cheese pepperoni sandwich has got to be the easiest way to do it.

What took me to make about 4 grilled cheese waffle sandwiches on the waffle iron is about what it would have taken me to cook about 1 or two on my cast iron skillet.

To make these pepperoni pizza waffle sandwiches, it takes very little effort and ingredients, some sourdough bread with a little melted butter, some garlic seasoning, slices of mozzarella, pepperoni, and a little pizza sauce and you’ve got the key to becoming the best dad ever!

It comes out of the waffle iron, oozing with cheese – even a little cheese skirt if you work your magic right. And the flavor and texture is phenomenal.

Unless you’re a picky 4 year old that is on the defense when it textures and shapes that aren’t to norm. Then it takes a little coaxing.

Seriously – who has to bribe their toddler to eat a grilled cheese sandwich?!

I’m definitely a fan of using my waffle iron to make grilled cheese sandwiches. I wonder what else I can come up with…
