Grilled Cheese Jalapeño Popper Sandwich
I bet you never tried this one before. If you love Grilled Cheese and Jalapeño Poppers then you have to try this! Buttered bread, American cheese, jalapeño poppers, fresh garden tomato and mayonnaise or Miracle Whip (my favorite) is what made this a delicious sandwich with a little bit of a kick.
Yesterday for lunch I used our garden jalapeño peppers and I made a huge plate of Jalapeño Poppers and I couldn’t eat them all. I also had a bowl full of our delicious ripe garden tomatoes that just screamed Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I thought why not put the Jalapeño Poppers on the Grilled Cheese Sandwich? Actually this was planted in my head, a few months ago, when I saw a picture posted by Small Town Woman so I decided to make my own version and I am so glad that I did!
Ingredients
Butter one side of each piece of bread.
Place the American cheese and cooked
jalapeño poppers on one piece of bread,
the side that is NOT buttered.
Place the other piece of bread
on top, buttered side UP.
Grill the bread in a skillet over medium low heat
until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Slice the fresh garden tomato. Store
bought tomatoes never look like that!
Place the slices of tomato in between the two
slices of bread. Add your favorite condiment
like mayonnaise or Miracle Whip, optional.
Slice and serve immediately.

Diane, you’ve outdone yourself!
I was thrilled when this turned out so delicious. I can’t wait to make it again. Thank you John! ❤️
You’re welcome!
?
Wow. That looks so delicious.
Thank you so much!!!
Looks beautiful but I’m in the U.K. and don’t know what American cheese is?
It is a soft processed cheese, however, use whatever is your favorite soft cheese slices. The processed cheeses melts best.
First question a home cook here in NM asks has mostly to do with who you’re fixing this for. Leaving the seeds in or scraping them out? Makes a difference in heat level.
All for me…lol When make jalapeño poppers I remove the seeds and membrane so I can fit more cream cheese filling inside. However, I also have added the seeds to my cream cheese mixture. My husband usually doesn’t eat any. My grilled cheese was also all for me…lol Now when I made my jalapeño jam, I leave the seeds in. Whether I leave the seeds in depends on what I am cooking and if I am craving the heat or not. The seeds definitely add more heat.
Add a bowl of tomato soup and you have the great American lunch. All you need now is a 15” black and white tv and “Lunch with Soupy Sales” (if you remember him)
Oh my gosh hadn’t thought of that in years!!!!!! Now we are aging ourselves…lol
I do not like Spivey foods, but my son would absolutely love this.
It was a great way to use up my leftover jalapeño poppers. Thanks Carla!
That looks and sounds so amazing! Grilled cheese done right. With some kick!

Oh my goodness. I MUST share this with a friend who loves grilled cheese and jalapeno poppers. This is sheer genius!
Thanks it is seriously the adult grilled cheese sandwich and it was so good. Thanks!
I shared it with her, and she was very excited. She said those were her two favorite foods! 🙂 (Which makes me wonder, why has she never thought of this?!) 🙂 🙂
Great then she is sure to love it! Heck, they are two of mine too and I just figured it out….lol

With tomato soup, you have a perfect Meatless Monday dinner
With tomato soup, this is a perfect dinner for Meatless Monday.
Why can’t you live across the street from me? I’d be so fat and happy! This looks fabulous and I’m ever so grateful you share the masterpieces from you kitchen with us all! Hugs, C
There you go making me feel good again! You would be a wonderful neighbor and I would be happy to share! Have a great weekend Cheryl. ❤️
This sounds fantastic! Do you have a panini maker? This on ciabatta, made in a panini press could possibly be the perfect sandwich 🙂
I do but I have only used it twice. I never seem to have the right type of bread and I try not to buy it often as it doesn’t last long. Lol However, what a great idea that I may try next year.
I hope you do! I should use mine more too– it really makes amazing sandwiches 🙂
Wow! That tomato! The whole sandwich! ❤️
Awe thank you Crystal ❣️
Looks great!
Looks great!
Thank you Karla! 💕
Mike is the jalapeno lover in our family, and he would love this!
I think it is the two recipes with different cheese (and bacon 😋) that made it so good and of course the jalapeños. Thank you Kellye!
