Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium jalapeños
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices Texas toast
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Brush jalapeños with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet; roast for about 15 minutes until slightly charred.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic salt, black pepper, and onion powder until smooth. Fold in chopped roasted jalapeños.
  4. Butter one side of each slice of Texas Toast. On the unbuttered side, spread half of the cream cheese mixture, then top with half of the cheddar cheese. Place another slice on top with the buttered side facing out.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grill each sandwich for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
