Jalapeno grilled cheese!!!!

Jalapeno Grilled Cheese!!!

This has to be one of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted. The tang of the sour dough, the creaminess of the cheese, and the subtle heat from the jalapeno. Your taste buds won't know what's going on!




Serves 3
2- Jalapeno, cut lengthwise and seeded
1- Lb Colby Jack Cheese, Shredded
1- Loaf of Sour dough bread
1- Stick of Butter, Soften
Plain cream cheese, Whipped
Olive Oil

1. Drizzle about a 1 TBLS of olive oil on to a cookie sheet, place peppers onto cookie sheet and broil on top rack for 8 minutes. Remove peppers and place in a plastic bag to steam, let cool about 10-15 minutes. Remove skin from peppers and roughly chop peppers.
2. Pre-heat griddle pan and assemble sandwiches. Butter 1 side of two pieces of bread, spread cream cheese on the other side of the bread top with shredded cheese and peppers, top with second piece of bread. Grill sandwiches 4-5 minutes over medium heat until golden brown. ENJOY!!!!

I was able to make 3 sandwiches with the ingredients listed above.
