sliced whole wheat or white bread
block mild cheddar cheese, shredded
fresh jalapenos, seeded and sliced
red onion, sliced thin

butter
cooking spray

Steps:

In a warm skillet coated with cooking spray, add sliced onions and cook over medium heat until they start to soften, about 10 minutes. Add sliced jalapenos and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper. Set aside and carefully clean out skillet with a paper towel.
Place shredded cheddar on 1 slice bread. Spread 1 tablespoon caramelized onions and jalapeno mixture on top of cheese and top with a little more shredded cheese, then another slice of bread. Spread a very thin layer of butter on both outer sides of sandwich.
Spray a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray (optional) and heat until hot. Place sandwich on griddle. Lower heat to medium-low and grill until underside is a deep brown but not burnt and cheese is partially melted, about 5 to 6 minutes. Carefully flip sandwich and grill other side, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Slice in half and serve hot.
