Photo: Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 jalapenos, cut in half lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup shredded aged Cheddar
- 8 slices country white bread
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the jalapenos with 1 tablespoon olive oil, some salt and pepper and lay skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the skin is blistered, 10 to15 minutes. Place in a plastic baggie for about 5 minutes loosen the skin. Pull off the skin, remove the majority of seeds and ribs, and slice. Set aside.
Spread the mascarpone on 4 slices of bread and divide the Cheddar among the other 4 slices. Divide the sliced jalapenos among the 4 sandwiches. Close, and butter both sides of the bread.
Heat half of the remaining oil on a flat griddle over medium heat. Grill one side of the sandwiches until golden. Remove, heat the remaining oil and repeat with the second side until golden and the insides are all melty and gooey.

Used cream cheese instead of marscapone. I also added bacon. CRAZY GOOD! The girlfriend keeps asking me to make more...

This is crazy good. The balance of spicy and creamy absolutely hits the spot and the marscapone is an outstanding touch and brings a real creaminess that's lacking in other grilled cheese variations. For those afraid of using that many jalapenos, don't be! I was far too timid about it when I first tried the recipe and the few jalapenos I used vanished in the richness of the cheeses and sweet country white bread. That creamy sweetness really demands that many jalapenos to cut through it, and honestly, it still won't be too spicy. In fact, if you're a big spice fan you may even want to use more than the recipe calls for. Wonderful way to make a grilled cheese something truly memorable.
