Equipment

  • 1 skillet or frying pan
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bread Preferably sourdough or Texas toast.
  • 4 ounces cream cheese Softened.
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 fresh jalapenos Diced, adjust to taste.
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and diced jalapenos. Mixture should be well combined.
  • Spread half of the cheese mixture evenly on two slices of bread. Top each with the remaining slices of bread to form two sandwiches.
  • Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, coating the pan.
  • Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Cook the other side of the sandwich for another 4-5 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Repeat this process with the second sandwich.
  • Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm.
  • For an extra kick, consider adding some diced bacon to the cheese mixture.
  • Adjust the number of jalapenos based on your heat preference.
