Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese

the perfect punch

Prep Time 15 Minutes

Cook Time 10 Minutes

Servings: 4 Servings

The fixings:

  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 jalapeños, chopped (adjust to desired spiciness)
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 4 Fistfulls of Doritos (Crumbled)

This sandwich is pure chaos—in the best possible way. It’s what happens when a jalapeño popper and a grilled cheese get together, fall in love, and decide to break all the rules. Cream cheese meets melty Monterey Jack. Jalapeños get sizzled in bacon grease (because, obviously). Then we bring in crispy bacon, crumbled Doritos for that wild crunch, and sandwich it all between golden, mayo-crusted sourdough. It’s spicy, creamy, crunchy, and downright unhinged—and yeah, you will need extra napkins. 

 

 

Instructions:

  1. Heat a flat top grill over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crispy, then set it aside. Next, cook down the chopped jalapenos in the remaining bacon grease. Once nicely browned, set them aside along with the bacon.
  2. Take your sourdough bread and spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice. Next, spread the cream cheese on the opposite side of one slice. Place the bread mayonnaise side down on the flat top. Evenly distribute the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on the slice of bread without the cream cheese. Next, place the cooked jalapenos and crumbled bacon on top of the cream cheese. Gingerly sprinkle some crumbled Doritos on top of the shredded Monterey Jack. Now, let’s sandwich these two pieces together to create some greatness.
  3. Grill the sandwich with a cloche to ensure the result is melty cheesy deliciousness. Once the bread is golden brown and cheese is thoroughly melted, remove the sandwich from the grill. Slice the sandwich diagonally and enjoy unapologetically.
