Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of thick-cut sourdough or your favorite bread
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 slices ghost pepper cheese (or other spicy cheese like habanero jack or pepper jack)
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for extra crispiness)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (optional, for added heat)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor depth)
Instructions
- Prep the Bread:
Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. If you like extra crispiness, you can also spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the other side of the bread. - Assemble the Sandwich:
Place one slice of ghost pepper cheese on the non-buttered side of one piece of bread. Add a second slice of cheese on top of it. If you’re using sriracha sauce, spread it on the other slice of bread. Optionally, sprinkle garlic powder for extra flavor. - Grill the Sandwich:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, place the sandwich in the pan, buttered side down. Grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich over and grill for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden and the cheese is melted and gooey. - Serve:
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute to cool slightly. Slice it in half and serve immediately. Be prepared for a spicy, cheesy explosion of flavor!
Notes
- Warning: Ghost pepper cheese is extremely spicy! If you’re not used to very hot foods, consider using a milder cheese and adding a small amount of ghost pepper sauce for controlled heat.
- You can add other fillings like grilled onions, tomatoes, or bacon for extra flavor and texture.
- For a more intense experience, try adding a splash of ghost pepper hot sauce to the inside of the sandwich before grilling.
