Grilled Cheese Pizza Sandwich Recipe

As always, all of my opinions are entirely my own even though this is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Sara Lee® Bread.

Spread 1 side of each bread slice with about 1 teaspoon butter. Spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce onto 1 bread slice, buttered-side down. Top with 1 slice cheese, 1/4 pepperoni, 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped basil leaves, 1/2 cup salad greens, 1 slice cheese and 1 bread slice, buttered-side up.
