I remember the first time Eric made me a sandwich. I can’t remember what kind it was, but I do know he brought it over to my apartment pre-assembled on a little plate, cut in a perfect diagonal. I thought it was the cutest thing ever. As sandwich aficionados, we both agree that sometimes it’s hard to beat a classic grilled cheese sandwich. They’re just so simple and full of fat. You can’t argue with it. But let me introduce you to this Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It’s a regular grilled cheese except it uses artisan bread and has cream cheese jalapeño smear on it. Oh, and crushed tortilla chips to get that extra crunch. (Don’t scoff, I know you put potato chips on your sandwiches when you were a kid). It is surprisingly not that spicy. Removing the seeds from the jalapeños does the trick. If you let the cream cheese mixture sit for a few hours or overnight, then it will definitely be more spicy. I always make it and eat it right away. Make this sandwich for someone. Deliver it on a little plate, cut diagonally. They will love you.
