Ingredients

6 slices sourdough bread
3 tablespoons butter
8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4-1/2 cup jarred jalapeno slices diced
1 teaspoon juice of jar of jalapenos
fresh jalapeno slices optional

Instructions

Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, and juice. Stir well to combine.
Spoon the cheese mixture onto the bread with the butter side facing out. If you like your sandwich extra spicy, arrange fresh jalapeno slices over teh cheese. Sandwich together to make 3 sandwiches.
Place sandwiches into skillet and cook until golden brown over medium low heat. Flip and continue cooking until golden brown and cheese is melty.
Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

We use a jar of 'tamed' jalapeno slices, as we like a little kick but not a ton of heat. If you'd like more heat, use fresh jalapenos or add slices of fresh jalapeno to the sandwich.
