Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Description
This jalapeño popper grilled cheese combines a spicy cream cheese spread, cheese, and tortilla chips for a grown up version of the classic grilled cheese sandwich.
Ingredients
•
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
•
1/2 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
Directions
1
Combine cream cheese, sour cream, and pickled jalapeno in a small bowl. Set aside. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
2
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 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture, 1/2 of the crushed chips, and 1/2 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.
3
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.
