Assembly

  2. Divide the jalapeno slices between the 2 slices of bread with cheddar.
  3. Add the 4 slices of bacon to the slices of bread with Monterey Jack. If you like, sprinkle some chopped cilantro on one side.
  4. Combine the slices of bread to form 2 sandwiches.
Grilling
  1. On top of each sandwich, add several pats of butter. Place the sandwiches in a skillet over medium-low heat, butter side down. Add more pats of butter on top.
  2. Grill each side until lightly browned. The cheese should be melted and gooey.
