Equipment
- Skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 120 g Cream cheese softened
- 28 g Shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack
- 2 slices Bread your favorite
- 1 piece Jalapeño thinly sliced, seeds removed for less heat
- 10 g Butter for frying
Instructions
- Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Butter both slices of bread, then spread cream cheese on one slice and sprinkle with cheddar.
- Add the jalapeño slices, top with the second slice, and press gently.
- Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side until the outside is golden and the cheese melts inside. If needed, cover the pan for a minute to help the cheese melt through.
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute before slicing to keep the filling from spilling out.
Notes
Tip: Use butter or a high-smoke-point oil on the outside and cook gently over medium heat to achieve a crispy exterior.
