This isn’t your average grilled cheese sandwich! Imagine perfectly toasted bread enveloping gooey cheese, with just the right amount of sweetness and heat to elevate your lunch or dinner. Perfect for a cozy meal or a quick snack, this grilled cheese is sure to impress.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough works great!)
- 2 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon spicy pepper jelly
- 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional for extra heat)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by spreading the butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will give your grilled cheese that perfect golden crust!
- On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer the cheddar cheese evenly.
- Spread the pepper jelly over the cheese. If you’re feeling adventurous, add the thinly sliced jalapeño on top for an extra kick!
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwich in the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down lightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Once cooked to perfection, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it sit for a minute before slicing.
