Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet
  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Stuffing

  • 4 medium jalapeños stems removed, sliced in half, and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup mild cheddar cheese shredded, divided

  • 4 slices Texas toast or your bread of choice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Brush the jalapeños with the olive oil on all sides and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for about 15 minutes, or until the skin of the jalapeños begins to char slightly.
  • Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  • To a medium mixing bowl, add cream cheese, garlic salt, pepper, and onion powder. Mix until creamy.
  • Once the jalapenos are cool enough to handle, roughly chop them and fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Butter one side of one slice of bread. On the opposite side, spread half of the cream cheese mixture. Top the cream cheese mixture with 3 slices of bacon and ½ cup of cheddar cheese. Top with another slice of bread and butter the outside. Repeat these steps with the remaining bread.
  • Add the buttered sandwich to a skillet and cook both sides over medium heat until the bread is toasted and the cheese is completely melted (3-5 minutes per side). Serve immediately.
