Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened cream cheese on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
On two of the bread slices (cream cheese side up), evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Add thin slices of jalapeños and crumbled bacon on top of the cheese layers.
Top with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, creating two sandwiches.
Spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter on the outside of each slice of bread (top and bottom of each sandwich).
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side (about 3-4 minutes).

Remove from heat and let the sandwiches cool for 1-2 minutes.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm.
