Ingredients


Instructions

  • Preheat the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  • Butter the Bread: Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough.

  • Layer the Goodness: On the unbuttered side of two slices, layer 2 slices of cheddar, then the mozzarella, followed by sliced jalapeños, and then another layer of cheddar.

  • Assemble: Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.

  • Grill: Place sandwiches in the hot skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and melty.

  • Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes if desired. Slice and enjoy immediately!


Notes

  • Adjust the jalapeño slices to your spice preference.

  • Add a smear of cream cheese for extra richness.

  • Swap sourdough with rye or whole wheat if preferred.
