Ingredients
Roasted jalapeños (see below)
Equal parts shredded pepper jack cheese & shredded cheddar cheese
Sliced bread (any kind you love)
Softened butter (for spreading)
To Roast the Jalapeños:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place whole jalapeños on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until charred and blistered.
Let cool, peel skins, remove seeds (if desired), and slice.
Instructions
Butter & Build: Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer cheddar, pepper jack, and roasted jalapeño slices. Top with another slice, buttered side out.
Grill It: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill each sandwich 3–4 minutes per side, pressing slightly, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Serve: Let cool for a minute, then slice and serve hot.
