- 2-3 Jalapenos chopped and seeds and membranes removed

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped jalapeños, and garlic powder.
Lay out two slices of bread on a clean surface and top each with one slice of cheese.
Divide the jalapeño filling onto each sandwich and spread out edge-to-edge.
