Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese

Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese – these beauties are all melty inside, oozing with gooey cheese and they also pack some heat. You should try one.

Since I made the screaming stuffed jalapeno poppers the other day, I had a few jalapeno peppers left. So since I’ve been so brave and had one of the stuffed jalapeno poppers, I thought I’d graduated to these jalapeno popper grilled cheese sandwiches.

I know what you’re thinking, I’m really brave, but I’m special that way. But don’t worry, I did remove the seeds from the peppers so a lot of the heat left with the seeds. But nonetheless there was plenty of heat left. So as before my fingers burned after I was done cleaning these peppers, and as usual I don’t listen to my own advice and didn’t wear gloves. One of these days I’ll learn my lesson.

Look at these peppers though, aren’t they gorgeous, look at that color! Just beautiful!

The other beauty to these grilled cheese sandwiches, is the mascarpone cheese. I mean have you ever had mascarpone cheese on a grilled cheese sandwich? It’s amazing. The grilled cheese sandwich is pretty simple, if you think about it, but that is the beauty of these sandwiches, the simplicity of them. But you add one more precious ingredient like jalapeños and you’ve got yourself a winner.

I also have to admit that the sandwiches are not too hot either, not sure if it’s because the jalapeños are grilled and the skin removed, but they do not pack as much heat as I would have expected. Which makes me very happy. I could actually eat a whole sandwich and enjoy it. But don’t get me wrong, there’s still plenty of heat there.

Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese – these beauties are all melty inside, oozing with gooey cheese and they also pack some heat. You should try one.

Ingredients

  • 6 jalapenos (cut in half lengthwise)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 8 slices bread
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 2 tablespoon butter (salted)

Before You Begin! If you make this, please leave a review and rating letting us know how you liked this recipe! This helps our business thrive & continue providing free recipes.

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the jalapeños with 1 tablespoon olive oil, some salt and pepper and lay skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the skin is blistered, 10 to15 minutes. Place in a plastic bag for about 5 minutes to loosen the skin. Pull off the skin, remove the majority of seeds and ribs, and slice. Set aside.
  • Spread the mascarpone on 4 slices of bread and divide the cheddar among the other 4 slices. Divide the sliced jalapenos among the 4 sandwiches. Close, and butter both sides of the bread.
  • Heat half of the remaining oil on a flat griddle over medium heat. Grill one side of the sandwiches until golden. Remove, heat the remaining oil and repeat with the second side until golden and the insides are all melty and gooey.
