Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 jalapeno peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
2 slices sourdough bread or 2 slices other hearty bread
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup colby-monterey jack cheese, shredded (or slice)
1 tablespoon tortilla chips, crushed (optional but adds crunch)

Steps:

  • Place the peppers on a baking sheet with the cut side facing down. Place the baking sheet on the top shelf in the oven and broil until the outer layer of the skin has blackened, about 8-14 minutes.
  • Place the peppers in a zip-lock bag or other sealable container, seal and let them cool until you can handle them, about 20 minutes. Remove the skins from the peppers. The skins should easily "pinch" off.
  • Assemble sandwich by spreading the cream cheese on the inside of one piece of bread. Layer with roasted jalapeno peppers and shredded cheese. Top with the second bread slice and spread with the softened butter the outersides of the bread slices. Sprinkle over both sides with crushed chips.
  • Preheat a skillet and grill until golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sour cream
10 pickled jalapeno pepper slices, or to taste - chopped

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: For the best grilled cheese sandwich, use a thick, sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or Texas toast.
  • Use good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in a grilled cheese sandwich, so don't skimp on quality. Use a cheese that melts well and has a lot of flavor. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Don't overcrowd the sandwich: When assembling the sandwich, don't pile on too many fillings. The sandwich should be thick enough to be satisfying, but not so thick that it's difficult to eat.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat: Cooking the sandwich over medium heat will help to prevent the bread from burning and the cheese from overcooking. Be patient and cook the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately: Grilled cheese sandwiches are best served hot and fresh. Once the sandwich is cooked, serve it immediately with your favorite sides.
