In a medium-sized bowl, blend together the butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth.

Evenly spread the butter mixture over one side of each bread slice. Place them butter-side-up on a sheet tray until ready to assemble.

Over medium-low heat in a skillet, lay a slice of bread butter-side-down. Add a slice of mozzarella cheese, 6 pepperoni slices, another slice of mozzarella, 6 more pepperoni slices, and one more slice of mozzarella. Place another slice of bread on top, butter-side-up.

Cover the skillet with a lid to help melt the cheese. Toast the sandwich until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Flip the sandwich carefully, cover again, and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches.
