Ingredients
Scale
- 2 fresh jalapenos (halved and seeded)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place halved jalapenos cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until blistered.
- While the jalapenos roast, mix the cream cheese and sharp cheddar in a bowl until well combined.
- Spread the cheese mixture on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Layer on roasted jalapenos and top with another slice of bread.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each assembled sandwich until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down slightly for even melting.
