This Jalapeño Parmesan-Crusted Grilled Cheese has ooey-gooey cheddar cheese on the inside and crispy Parmesan cheese and sliced Jalapeños on the outside. It is a phenomenal combination, as long as you like spicy!
Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Yields: 2 Servings
Ingredients
4 slices soft sourdough bread
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 small jalapeño, sliced into thin rings
1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated
1 cup extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
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.
