  • 2-3 Jalapenos chopped and seeds and membranes removed
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bread
  • 3 slices bacon fully cooked
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Cut the slices of bacon in half and place onto the sandwiches over top of the jalapeño filling.
  • Top with remaining slices of cheese and the remaining slices of bread to complete two sandwiches.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat.
