Bring some spice to your life with this jalapeño popper grilled cheese sandwich.  This sandwich contains the essential parts of the jalapeño popper appetizer - cream cheese, jalapeños and cheddar.   The bacon is added well, because it's bacon - and the avocado helps to cool the heat and bring it all together.

Ingredients

how to

  • 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 tbsp 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 tbsp 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.
