Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (sourdough or your choice)
- 1.5 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 0.5 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded or sliced)
- 0.5 cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded or sliced)
- 1 medium pepper Green chili (roasted, peeled, and chopped)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
2. Spread 3/4 tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
3. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, onto the preheated skillet.
4. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese onto the bread in an even layer. Add the chopped roasted green chili on top of the cheese, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the green chili.
5. Place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up, forming a sandwich.
6. Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes on the first side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting. Check frequently to avoid burning.
7. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
8. Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing.
9. Serve hot and enjoy the melty, spicy goodness!
