This Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese is stuffed with a creamy, cheesy mixture of roasted jalapenos, crispy bacon, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. Buttery and crispy on the outside, these sandwiches make an awesome spicy lunch.

For the spicy food lover, this grilled cheese sandwich can’t be beat.

Roast The Jalapeno Peppers

For best flavor, the jalapeno peppers are roasted first. This step can be done an day or two in advance. To roast them, cut each jalapeno in half horizontally and scoop the seeds out. Drizzle with a little oil and roast in a 425 degree F oven for about 15 minutes. The skins will easily peel off after roasting. You can peel them off or leave them on.

Type Of Bread

I like to use a sturdy, thick white bread for this recipe. But you can use any bread that you like. Sour dough is also really delicious.
Type Of Cheese

I use medium cheddar, but you can use sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, Colby Jack, or a shredded Mexican cheese blend.

Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Recipe Tips

Be careful when handling jalapeno peppers. It’s best to wear gloves. If you don’t have gloves, be sure to wash your hands after handling the peppers. Just a little oil from the peppers rubbed into your eyes can make them burn. Alot.

This recipe makes 2 sandwiches and can easily be doubled.

Mayonnaise can be used instead of butter. It won’t give the bread a buttery flavor...
