ULTIMATE SPICY GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY



Ultimate Spicy Grilled Cheese Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: sourdough bread, jalapeño, shredded Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese, jalapeño, habanero pepper, green onion, jalapeño-flavored potato chips

Provided by Cabot Creamery Co-operative

Categories     Lunch

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 slices sourdough bread
4 slices jalapeño, to taste
1 ¼ cups shredded Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese, divided
2 tablespoons jalapeño, finely chopped
½ tablespoon habanero pepper, optional, finely chopped
1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
6 jalapeño-flavored potato chips, lightly crushed

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Hold a slice of bread over the skillet to measure the space for the cheese crust. Place 2-4 jalapeño slices in the skillet where the bread will go, then top with ¼ cup Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese roughly the shape and size of the slice of bread. Place the bread on top of the cheese and press down lightly so the melting cheese sticks to the bread.
  • Top the bread with ¾ cup Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese, the chopped jalapeño, habanero (if using), green onions, and potato chips. Cover with the other slice of bread. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese on the bottom forms a browned crust.
  • Using a spatula, lift the sandwich out of the pan and layer the remaining jalapeño slices and Cabot Pepper Jack Cheese in the skillet. Place the sandwich on top of the cheese in the pan, cheese-crust side up, and press down lightly to adhere. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese crust is well browned and the cheese in the middle of the sandwich is completely melted. Let the sandwich rest for 1 minute before slicing.
  • Enjoy!

SPICY CHEESE STICKS

Had this recipe for years. I have never made but they sound delicious. Prep time is estimated and does not include the chilling time. I would think the dough could be made and frozen also.

Provided by TXOLDHAM

Categories     Cheese

Time 25m

Yield 24 sticks

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
1/3 cup vegetable shortening, chilled
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons onions, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 -4 dashes Tabasco sauce (to taste)
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, fresh, grated

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl. Add shortening and cut in with a pastry blender until well incorporated. (I think you could do this with a few pulses in a food processor.) Stir in Cheddar cheese, onion, and Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces. Add buttermilk and stir to make a soft dough.
  • Wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 475°F
  • On a lightly floured board, roll out dough into an 8-x 12-inch rectangle. Wrap loosely around rolling pin and transfer to a cold lightly greased baking sheet. With a metal spatula, cut dough in half lengthwise, then cut across at 1-inch intervals to form the sticks. Brush sticks with melted butter, sprinkle with Parmesan and bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Immediately remove from baking sheet and serve hot, or cool on wire racks before storing in airtight containers.
