Jalapeño Parmesan-Crusted Grilled Cheese

Directions

1Spread 1 side of each slice of bread with about 2 teaspoons softened butter. Arrange 4 or 5 jalapeño rings over the butter on each slice, pressing down to make them stick. Place the Parm in a shallow dish and press the buttered jalapeño side of each slice of bread into the Parm. Scatter ½ cup Cheddar on the unbuttered side of each of 2 slices, then close the sandwiches (all the Parmed sides on the outside).

2Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-low. Add the sandwiches and cook, covered, until the underside is golden but not burnt, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook, covered, until the underside is golden but not burnt and the edges are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
