  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

2 Jalapenos, sliced lengthwise, seeds and membranes removed
4 ounces cream cheese
4 slices bacon, crispy cooked
2 slices Monterey Jack cheese
2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
4 slices Italian bread
Chopped cilantro (optional)
Pats of butter

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Stuff each jalapeno half with approximately 1 ounce of cream cheese. Place the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on 2 bread slices and 1 slice of Monterey Jack cheese on the other 2 bread slices. Each sandwich will have both kinds of cheese. Slice the cooked stuffed jalapenos into bite-size pieces and divide them between the 2 slices of bread with cheddar. Add the 4 slices of bacon to the slices of bread with Monterey Jack. If desired, add chopped cilantro to one side. Combine the slices of bread to form 2 sandwiches.
Top each sandwich with several pats of butter. Place the sandwiches in a skillet over medium-low heat, butter side down. Top with more pats of butter. Grill each side until lightly browned and the cheese is melted and gooey.
