Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium jalapeños
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup mild cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 6 strips bacon (cooked)
  • 4 slices Texas toast
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Brush jalapeños with olive oil and roast for about 15 minutes until slightly charred.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese with garlic salt, black pepper, and onion powder until smooth.
  4. Allow the roasted jalapeños to cool slightly before chopping and folding them into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Assemble sandwiches by spreading the cream cheese mixture onto unbuttered bread slices, adding bacon and cheddar cheese before topping with another slice of bread (buttered side out).
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each sandwich until golden brown and the cheese has melted, approximately 3-5 minutes per side.
