Ingredients

• 8 Slices of bread (We prefer sourdough.)
• 12 Strips of cooked bacon
• 8 oz Cream cheese – room temperature
• 4 Tbs Mayo
• 3 Jalapeños – seeded and diced
• 16 oz Cheddar cheese – shredded fresh
• 1/4 Tsp Garlic powder
• 1/4 Tsp Onion powder
• 1/4 Tsp Ground black pepper
• 1/4 Tsp Cayenne

Directions

1. Place all of the ingredients except for the bread and bacon in a medium-size bowl. Mix well with a hand mixer or with a spoon until thoroughly combined.
2. Prepare 4 large sandwiches by spreading the mixture on each side of the sandwich. Place three slices, halved if necessary, of cooked bacon between the mixture. Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich and grill on a flat pan or sauté pan over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Continuously peak at the underside of the sandwich to check for doneness.
3. If you haven’t spread butter on both sides, use this time to do so on the top while the other side is cooking. If the sandwich is done to your liking before time hits, flip the sandwich.
4. Flip the sandwich and grill on a flat pan or sauté pan for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Continuously peak at the underside of the sandwich to check for doneness.
5. Remove from heat, slice, and serve. Enjoy it by itself, with a creamy tomato soup, or the soup of your choice!
