    Ingredients
     

    • 4 medium jalapenos
    • 1 avocado
    • 4 slices sandwich bread - good quality
    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • 4 tablespoon cream cheese
    • ½ cup cheddar cheese - shredded
    • 4 slices bacon - cooked and halved
    • 2 slices pepper jack cheese

    Instructions

    • Begin by roasting the jalapeños.  Turn your broiler on to 400 F (200 C).  Put the jalapeños on a baking sheet in the top of the oven.  Look at them after about 4 - 5 minutes, and if they are blackened, turn them over and allow to blacken on all sides.  Remove to a plate and allow to cool about 10 minutes.
    • When the jalapeños have cooled enough to handle them, strip the blackened skin off, then cut them in half and scrape away the seeds and set aside.
    • Half the avocado and hold it in your hand.  Carefully use a knife to cut thin slices into the flesh, then use a spoon to remove it from the skin and set aside on a plate.  (be careful to not let the knife pierce the skin when slicing)
    • Butter one side of each slice of bread and stack them with the buttered sides touching.  Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on the exposed top piece of bread.
    • Sprinkle some cheddar on top of the cream cheese, then lay 4 slices of bacon on each sandwich.
    • Place a slice of pepper jack on the bacon, then add the jalapeños, avocado and remaining cheddar.
    • Spread another tablespoon of cream cheese on the unbuttered side of the bottom piece of bread and place on top.
    • Grill on a griddle over medium low heat until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
