• 8 slices bread
• 4 tbsp butter
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 2 cups cheddar cheese
• 2 medium jalapeños
• 4 slices bacon
• 2 tbsp green onions

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the 4 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble.

   In a small bowl, mix the 4 oz cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar, 2 minced jalapeños, and 2 tbsp sliced green onions until well combined.

   Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on 4 slices of bread. Top with the crumbled bacon and remaining 1 cup cheddar. Close with the remaining 4 bread slices.

4. 4

   Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 2 sandwiches in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Add the remaining 2 tbsp butter to the skillet and cook the other 2 sandwiches the same way, until golden and the cheese is melted.

6. 6

   Slice the sandwiches in half and serve hot, with extra jalapeños or hot sauce if desired.
