Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon according to package instructions. Place on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Slice the jalapenos in half and remove the seeds. Fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese.
4. Place the cream cheese filled jalapenos on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes. The jalapenos will become soft and tender, and the cream cheese will start to soften and melt. Remove from the oven and set aside
5. Butter one side of each piece of bread.
6. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the bread, butter side down, in the skillet. Add 1-2 slices of Monterey jack cheese to 2 slices of bread. Add 1-2 slices of cheddar cheese to the other 2 slices of bread. Each sandwich will have Monterey jack cheese on one half and cheddar cheese on the other half.
7. Let the bread toast and the cheese start to melt for about 2 minutes. Check the bottom of the bread to make sure it isn’t burning.
8. Divide the cream cheese filled jalapenos onto 2 slices of bread. Break the bacon in half and divide between the other 2 slices of bread.
9. Once the cheese has melted and the bottom of the bread is a nice golden brown, turn off the heat.
10. Fold the bacon/cheese piece of bread onto to the jalapeno/cheese piece of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat with the other sandwich. Slice in half and serve warm.
