JALAPENO POPPER SANDWICH

Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese is a delectable combination of baked cream cheese-filled jalapenos, gooey cheddar, Monterey Jack cheese, and crispy bacon.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 sliced lengthwise seeds and membranes removed

• 4 ounces cream cheese

• 4 slices bacon crispy cooked

• 2 slices monterey jack

• 2 slices sharp cheddar

• 4 slices Italian bread

• Cilantro chopped (optional)

• Pats of butter

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2.) Stuff each jalapeno half with approximately 1 ounce of cream cheese. Bake stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven.

3.) Place 1 slice each cheddar cheese on 2 bread slices. Place 1 slice each Monterey Jack on 2 bread slices. Each sandwich will have both kinds of cheese. Slice the cooked stuffed jalapenos into bite-size pieces. Divide the jalapeno slices between the 2 slices of bread with cheddar. Add the 4 slices of bacon to the slices of bread with the Monterey Jack. If desired, add chopped cilantro to one side. Combine the slices of bread to form 2 sandwiches.

4.) Top each sandwich with several pats of butter. Place in skillet over medium-low heat, butter side down. Top with more pats of butter. Now grill each side until lightly browned. Cheese should be melted and gooey.
