Equipment

  • skillet
  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Jalapeños

  • 4 medium jalapeños stems removed, sliced in half, and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 4 ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

Filling

  • 1 cup mild cheddar cheese shredded, divided
  • 6 strips bacon cooked, divided

Bread

  • 4 slices Texas toast or your bread of choice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Brush the jalapeños with the olive oil on all sides and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for about 15 minutes, or until the skin of the jalapeños begins to char slightly.
  • Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  • To a medium mixing bowl, add cream cheese, garlic salt, pepper, and onion powder. Mix until creamy.
  • Once the jalapeños are cool enough to handle, roughly chop them and fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Butter one side of one slice of bread. On the opposite side, spread half of the cream cheese mixture. Top with 3 slices of bacon and ½ cup of cheddar cheese. Top with another slice of bread and butter the outside. Repeat these steps with the remaining bread.
  • Add the buttered sandwich to a skillet and cook both sides over medium heat until the bread is toasted and the cheese is completely melted (3-5 minutes per side). Serve immediately.
