Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich takes the classic comfort of grilled cheese and infuses it with the spicy, creamy flavors of a jalapeño popper. It’s an indulgent and flavorful twist on the traditional sandwich.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough or your choice)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 jalapeño peppers, seeds removed and finely chopped
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- Optional: 1/4 cup of chopped green onions or cilantro for added flavor
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, and crumbled bacon. Add green onions or cilantro if desired.
- Butter one side of each bread slice. Flip two slices over (buttered side down) and spread the cheese and jalapeño mixture on them.
- Place the other two bread slices on top of the mixture, buttered side up, to form two sandwiches.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet.
- Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, pressing down lightly with a spatula to compact everything.
- Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them sit for a minute before cutting.
- Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm.
