Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 oven
- 1 skillet or frying pan
- 1 spatula
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh jalapenos
- 8 slices bread Your choice, such as sourdough or white.
- 8 oz cream cheese Softened.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoon butter Softened.
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds (if less heat is desired). Place them cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Roast the jalapenos in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the skins are blistered and slightly charred. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the jalapenos are cool, chop them into small pieces and fold them into the cheese mixture.
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Spoon a generous portion of the cheese and jalapeno mixture onto each slice.
- Top with another slice of bread, buttered side up. Grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Remove from the skillet and let sit for a minute before slicing. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the next batch of sandwiches.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Roasted Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese!
