Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese
The ultimate comfort food mashup: crispy, buttery grilled cheese meets gooey, spicy jalapeño popper filling with smoky bacon and sharp cheddar. Easy, fast, and totally craveable.
Ingredients
- 4 slices white or sourdough bread
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 jalapeños roasted and diced
- 4 strips cooked bacon chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Roast the jalapeños over an open flame or under a broiler until blistered. Let cool, then peel and dice them. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, diced jalapeños, chopped bacon, and garlic powder until evenly mixed.
- Lay out the bread slices on a cutting board. Spread the jalapeño popper mixture evenly on two slices. Top with the remaining slices to form two sandwiches.
- Spread one side of each sandwich with softened butter.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet, buttered side down. Butter the top side while the bottom cooks.
- Grill each sandwich for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese mixture is melted inside.
- Remove from the skillet, let rest for one minute, then slice and serve hot.
