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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 jalapenos, cut in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup shredded aged Cheddar
8 slices country white bread
2 tablespoons salted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the jalapenos with 1 tablespoon olive oil, some salt and pepper and lay skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the skin is blistered, 10 to15 minutes. Place in a plastic baggie for about 5 minutes loosen the skin. Pull off the skin, remove the majority of seeds and ribs, and slice. Set aside.
  • Spread the mascarpone on 4 slices of bread and divide the Cheddar among the other 4 slices. Divide the sliced jalapenos among the 4 sandwiches. Close, and butter both sides of the bread.
  • Heat half of the remaining oil on a flat griddle over medium heat. Grill one side of the sandwiches until golden. Remove, heat the remaining oil and repeat with the second side until golden and the insides are all melty and gooey.

Tips:

  • Use fresh jalapeños: Fresh jalapeños have a better flavor and texture than canned or pickled jalapeños.
  • Deseed the jalapeños: Deseeding the jalapeños will help to reduce the heat level of the poppers.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses to find your favorite combination. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, pepper Jack, and cream cheese.
  • Don't overcook the grilled cheese: The grilled cheese should be cooked until the cheese is melted and gooey, but the bread should not be overcooked.
  • Serve the grilled cheese with your favorite dipping sauce: Some good options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or marinara sauce.

Conclusion:

The jalapeño popper grilled cheese is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a party or a snack. It is a delicious and unique twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich. With its creamy cheese, spicy jalapeños, and crispy bread, the jalapeño popper grilled cheese is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
