Ingredients

2 large hot dog sausages

2 slices of whole grain bread

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup sliced pepperoni

1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cook the hot dog sausages in a skillet over medium heat until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and slice them in half lengthwise.

In a separate bowl, mix together the pizza sauce, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil.

Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce on the unbrushed side of each slice of bread.

Place the sliced hot dogs on top of the sauce, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, and chopped bell peppers.

Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese, then place the second slice of bread on top of the fillings (sauce side down).

Heat the skillet over medium heat and carefully place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the bottom is toasted and golden brown.

Gently flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes, until it is also golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
