How to Make Irresistible Roasted Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it hot and ready for those delightful jalapeños.
  • Prepare Jalapeños: Slice the jalapeños in half and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder flavor. Stuff each half with cream cheese, making sure to pack it in nicely.
  • Bake Jalapeños: Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet and let them bake for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and blistered. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before chopping.
  • Assemble Sandwiches: Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. In a heated skillet, lay one slice mayo-side down. Pile on the cheeses, chopped jalapeños, and then top with another slice of bread, ensuring the mayo side is facing out.
  • Grill: Heat the skillet to medium and grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is crispy and golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
  • Serve: Once grilled to perfection, cut the sandwiches in half and serve them hot. Perfectly paired with your favorite dipping sauce or a bowl of tomato soup!

Notes

For added crunch, serve with crispy potato chips. Reheat leftovers by baking at 350°F for 10-15 minutes till warm.
