STUFFED JALAPEñO PEPPER GRILLED CHEESE



Stuffed Jalapeño Pepper Grilled Cheese image

This recipe is sponsored by Farm Rich®. To create an unforgettable grilled cheese, we leaned into the bold flavors of jalapeño poppers and spicy chorizo. The sausage is browned in a skillet, then layered with jalapeño poppers and creamy cheese on sliced Pullman bread. Cooked until golden on the outside and hot and melty within, this sandwich will definitely be a win on game day.

Categories     main-dish

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.

GRILLED STUFFED JALAPENO CHILES

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 fresh whole jalapenos
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices center-cut smoked bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat a gas or charcoal grill, or a stovetop grill pan, over high heat.
  • Grill the jalapenos until browned or blistered on all sides and slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, mix the cheese and oregano in a small bowl. Season with some salt and pepper.
  • To remove the seeds from the jalapenos, make a crosswise cut at the stem-end of the jalapeno and then slice lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut the jalapeno completely in half. Peel open the sides of the jalapeno and, using a spoon, gently scrape out the seeds and veins. Fill the cavities with 1 tablespoon of the cheese-oregano mixture. Then wrap 1 slice of bacon tightly around the stuffed jalapeno to seal in the cheese. Transfer to the hot grill (try to place the jalapeno on the grill on the side where the bacon ends). Grill until the bacon is crisp and fully cooked, 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
