Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, half of the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeños, and crumbled bacon pieces. Stir until well blended.
Take two slices of sourdough bread and spread softened butter on one side of each slice.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over one slice.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes and place the assembled sandwiches into the skillet.
Press down on the sandwiches with a spatula as they cook. Flip carefully after 3-4 minutes and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Remove from skillet, allow to rest for 1-2 minutes, slice in half and serve hot.
