Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Jalapeños and Bacon

Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Jalapeños and Bacon

Ingredients:

• 8 slices of bread (sourdough or your preferred type)
• 8 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 slices of mozzarella cheese
• 4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 fresh jalapeños, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
   • Thinly slice the fresh jalapeños.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches:
   • Lay out 4 slices of bread on a flat surface.
   • Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each slice of bread.
   • Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sliced jalapeños evenly over the cheddar cheese.
   • Top with a slice of mozzarella cheese on each sandwich.
   • Place another slice of bread on top to form the sandwiches.
3. Butter the Bread:
   • Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich, making sure to cover the entire surface for a crispy, golden crust.
4. Grill the Sandwiches:
   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
   • Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula for even cooking.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
   • Cut the sandwiches in half or into quarters.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

Tips:

• For a spicier sandwich, leave the seeds in the jalapeños or add a dash of hot sauce.
• Serve with a side of tomato soup for a classic combination.
