Bacon Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich
"Mixing all of the ingredients for the grilled cheese filling makes this come together fast. If I'm making grilled cheese sandwiches for a group, I use the oven method. If it's 2-4, I usually use the stovetop method. You can use whatever bread you have handy, but a thicker bread (like sourdough or a hearty white) holds up best to spreading on the filling. Cook time listed is for the stovetop method (give yourself another 10 minutes or so if you're using the oven)."

Step by Step Method
Step 1

Step 2
Take a slice of bread and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on one side. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
Stovetop Directions:
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each sandwich.
Step 4
Place the sandwiches, buttered side down, on the skillet or griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Carefully flip the sandwiches over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
Step 6
Once the sandwiches are cooked, remove them from the skillet or griddle and let them cool for a minute or two. Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve hot.
Oven Directions:
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 8
Place the prepared sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
