Ingredients

  • 4

    slices soft sourdough bread

  • 3 Tbsp.

    unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 1

    small jalapeño, sliced into thin rings

  • 1 cup

    finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • 1 cup

    shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

    1. Step 1Spread 1 side of each slice of bread with about 2 teaspoon softened butter. Arrange 4 or 5 jalapeño rings over the butter on each slice, pressing down to make them stick. Place the Parm in a shallow dish and press the buttered jalapeño side of each slice of bread into the Parm. Scatter 1/2 cup Cheddar on the unbuttered side of each of 2 slices, then close the sandwiches (all the Parmed sides on the outside).
    2. Step 2Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-low. Add the sandwiches and cook, covered, until the underside is golden but not burnt, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook, covered, until the underside is golden but not burnt and the edges are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
