Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 8 jalapeno peppers
  • 4 ounces Cabot Seriously Sharp Vermont cheddar, shredded
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 slices of bacon, cooked and cut in half
  • 8 slices brioche
  • Butter, for toasting the sandwiches
Instructions
  1. Trim the tops off of the jalapenos and cut each in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and the ribs. (I wear gloves for this.)
  2. Heat a grill pan over high heat. When hot, grill the peppers on both sides until blistered. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and cheddar with a fork.
  4. Spread ¼ of the cheese mixture on each of 4 slices of the brioche. Top with 4 jalapeno halves and ¼ of the bacon. Top with another slice of bread.
  5. Heat a griddle to 350F or heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Butter the outside of the sandwiches on both sides.
  6. When griddle or pan is hot, toast the sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cut in half and serve immediately.
