JALAPENO POPPER GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH



Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich image

This is an awesome spin on a plain grilled cheese sandwich. Feel free to alter it to your liking. The ciabatta bread is not typical grilled cheese material but the crunch of the buttery grilled chewy bread goes perfect with this jalapeno filling. You can also use sourdough bread.

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sour cream
10 pickled jalapeno pepper slices, or to taste - chopped
2 ciabatta sandwich rolls
4 teaspoons butter
8 tortilla chips, crushed
½ cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and pickled jalapeno in a small bowl. Set aside. Preheat skillet over medium heat.
  • Slice each roll in half horizontally, then slice the rounded tops off the ciabatta rolls to make a flat top half. Spread 1 teaspoon butter on the doughy cut side of the bottom bun and 1 teaspoon butter on the now flattened top bun. Place half of the cream cheese mixture, half of the crushed chips, and half of the shredded cheese on the non-buttered side of the bottom bun. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and place the sandwich on the hot skillet. Repeat with the second sandwich.
  • Grill until lightly browned and flip over, about 3 to 5 minutes; continue grilling until cheese is melted and the second side is golden brown.

GRILLED JALAPENO POPPERS



Grilled Jalapeno Poppers image

These are delicious as appetizers or include them on your beef or chicken kabobs. The smokiness of the bacon and the smokiness of your grill's charcoal is a wonderful combination. The cheese chills out the heat of the jalapeños leaving them just slightly hot. Dip them in Ranch dressing to chill the heat even more. Cream cheese is a perfect substitute for neufchatel cheese.

12 fresh jalapenos
1 (8 ounce) package neufchatel cheese or 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
12 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Cut peppers in half.
  • Use a spoon to remove the seeds and white membranes.
  • Fill each half with the cheese.
  • Cut the bacon slices in half so that you have 24 shorter slices.
  • Wrap each cheese stuffed jalapeño with a bacon slice; secure with toothpicks if you need to or slide them on skewers.
  • Grill over hot coals until the bacon is crispy and browned, turning every few minutes (stay with them and watch for flare ups from the dripping bacon fat or they will burn); grill for about 15 or 20 minutes.
  • The bacon should be crisp, the jalapeño crisp tender and the cheese should be hot.

Grilled Jalapeno Mozzarella Poppers image

NC - Bring sophistication to a pub-style favourite by saying goodbye to the deep fryer and firing up the barbecue. Grilling jalapenos brings out their sweetness to counter the spice, which complements the rich flavours of mozzarella and bacon.

Provided by Chris WebAdmin

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tbsp olive oil (30 ml)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 tsp lime zest (finely grated, 5 ml)
1/4 tsp each salt and ground pepper (1 ml)
12 jalapenos (halved and seeded)
6 oz Saputo Mozzarellissima cheese (cut into twelve 1/2 inch (1-cm) by 2-inch (5-cm) pieces, 175 g)
2 tbsp cilantro (finely chopped, 30 ml)
6 slices bacon (halved lengthwise)

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high and grease grates well. Combine olive oil with garlic, lime zest, salt and pepper; brush over cut sides of jalapenos.

  • Place on grill and cook covered, turning occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until bacon is lightly crisped.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook covered for 5 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the jalapeno is tender. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease, then serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm jalapeños that are about 2 to 3 inches long. Avoid any jalapeños that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños, as the oils can irritate your skin and eyes.
  • To reduce the heat of the jalapeños, remove the seeds and ribs before cooking.
  • If you do not have a grill, you can also cook the poppers in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the poppers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled Jalapeño Mozzarella Poppers are an easy and delicious appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to be a hit with everyone.
