I’ve had a jar of pickled jalapenos in my pantry for a couple of months now and every time I open the door, there they are, eyeballing me.

I hate being eyeballed by peppers.

So, I finally decided to do something about it. Something violent and dangerous and kinda mean.

I chopped those jalapenos up, I added them to some cream cheese, and I spread it all on some bread.

By the way, guys, cream cheese runs through my veins. I mean, it must. I don’t bleed blood. I bleed cheese. Fact.

Back to the bread, I topped it with some cheddar. See above regarding cheese and the fact that it’s my life source.

So, that’s the story of how my 12 year old son found me curled up under the dining room table sobbing uncontrollably because my mouth was on fire.

Oh, jalapenos. You showed me.

Notes: As I said above, I like cheese. I’ve used a full 16 ounces of cream cheese here, but you could totally get away with reducing that amount. It won’t be as decadent, creamy, or cheesy, but it’ll work.
