Imagine the best grilled cheese sandwich you’ve ever tasted. Now add crispy bacon. And roasted jalapeños – roasting the peppers to take out some of the heat while adding a smoky flavor. Combine this with a generous amount of Clearfield® White American, and put it all on Texas toast. You just might have a new favorite grilled cheese.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the jalapeños and the bell pepper on a sheet pan or cookie sheet to roast for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, place in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap.
Once cooled, peel & seed the peppers, and slice into strips.
Spread the softened butter onto one side of each of the Texas toast slices.
On a clean surface, lay 4 pieces of bread in a row, buttered side down.
On the non-buttered side of each sandwich base, layer 1 slice of Clearfield® White American Cheese.
Evenly distribute the pepper strips, bacon slices, softened cream cheese between the sandwiches.
Layer the remaining Clearfield® White American Cheese slices onto each sandwich (1 slice each).
Top each sandwich with another piece of bread, buttered-side up.
In batches, griddle the sandwiches golden brown in a skillet about 2-3 minutes per side over medium heat.
