Time 40m

Yield 6 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 18-ounce box frozen jalapeño poppers, such as Farm Rich® Jalapeño Peppers
12 ounces fresh Mexican-style chorizo, casing removed and crumbled (4 to 5 links)
Olive oil, as needed
12 slices Pullman bread
2 1/4 cups shredded Monterey jack, queso Oaxaca or whole milk mozzarella (about 10 ounces)

Steps:

  • Prepare the jalapeño poppers according to the package directions for the oven.
  • Meanwhile, put the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon and pour the rendered fat into a small heatproof liquid measuring cup. You should have about 1/4 cup chorizo oil; if not, top with enough olive oil to reach 1/4 cup. Reserve the skillet.
  • Lay the bread slices on a cutting board and brush evenly with the chorizo oil on one side. Flip 6 slices over and top each with 3 tablespoons of the cheese. Divide the chorizo and jalapeño peppers evenly among the 6 slices and finish each with 3 more tablespoons of cheese. Close the sandwiches with the remaining 6 slices of bread, chorizo-oil-side up.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-low heat. Put 2 sandwiches in the skillet and press down with a large lid. Cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking, covered, until the cheese is melted and the second side is browned, about 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Use a sharp knife to slice each sandwich in half and serve.

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole garlic bulb
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 jalapeno peppers
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons butter, softened
12 slices multigrain bread
6 slices smoked provolone cheese
12 cooked bacon strips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Remove papery outer skin from garlic bulb, but do not peel or separate the cloves. Cut off top of garlic bulb, exposing individual cloves. Drizzle cut cloves with oil. Sprinkle with salt. Wrap in foil. Bake until cloves are soft, 25-35 minutes. Unwrap and cool to room temperature., Meanwhile, cut peppers lengthwise in half; remove stems and seeds. 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Select medium-sized peppers with smooth skin and a vibrant green color. Avoid peppers with brown spots or wrinkles.
  • Clean the peppers thoroughly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the pepper halves under cold water to remove any remaining seeds or debris.
  • Stuff the peppers evenly: Place a generous amount of cheese, jalapeños, and bacon inside each pepper half. Press the filling down gently to ensure it stays in place.
  • Use a good quality bread: Choose a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings and the heat of the grill. A sourdough or a French baguette works well.
  • Butter the bread: Brush the bread slices with melted butter before grilling. This will help the bread to brown evenly and give it a crispy texture.
  • Grill the sandwiches over medium heat: Cook the sandwiches on a preheated grill over medium heat. This will prevent the bread from burning while allowing the cheese to melt and the fillings to warm through.
  • Flip the sandwiches halfway through cooking: Use a spatula to carefully flip the sandwiches halfway through cooking to ensure that both sides are evenly browned and the cheese is melted.

Stuffed jalapeño grilled cheese sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a combination of spicy jalapeños, melted cheese, and crispy bacon, these sandwiches are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
