Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole garlic bulb
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Place peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet, skin side up. Broil 4 in. from heat until skins blister, about 5 minutes. Immediately place peppers in a small bowl; let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skin. Cut pepper strips in half., Preheat large cast-iron skillet or electric griddle for medium heat. In a small bowl, squeeze garlic from skins; mash with a fork. Beat in cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and Worcestershire sauce until blended. Spread butter over one side of each bread slice. Spread cheese mixture over unbuttered side of six bread slices. Layer each with jalapeno pepper pieces, one slice provolone cheese and two bacon strips. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side up. Cook sandwiches until golden brown and cheese is melted, 4-6 minutes on each side.

These sandwiches were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best grilled cheese sandwiches he's ever had. I would recommend using a milder variety of jalapeños if you're not a fan of spicy food.

These sandwiches were delicious! I used a combination of sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheese and it was the perfect amount of spice. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I'm always looking for new grilled cheese recipes and this one did not disappoint. The jalapeños added a nice kick and the cheese was perfectly melted. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

I made these sandwiches for lunch and they were so good! I used a sourdough bread and it was the perfect complement to the spicy jalapeños and melted cheese. I will definitely be making these again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken. I made a few modifications, such as using pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar, and adding some chopped cilantro. The sandwiches were delicious!
