A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
For the Bread:
Depending on the size of skillet or flat grill used, the sandwiches may need to be made one at a time.
Heat a skillet on medium heat and add butter (add half of the butter if making one sandwich at a time).
Heat a skillet on medium heat and add butter (add half of the butter if making one sandwich at a time).
As the butter melts, lay each piece of bread on the butter just enough to coat each side of the bread.
Lift the bread slightly with a spatula to check if the bottom side of the bread is starting to turn a golden color.
For the Cheese:
As soon as the bottom sides of the bread are a golden color, turn the bread over and add the cheese on top.
For the Jalapeno and Salsa:
…top the cheese with jalapenos and salsa.
Carefully turn one side of the bread over on to the other one to make a sandwich.
Cover the pan with a lid.
Continue to cook the sandwich until the outside pieces of bread are lightly browned and the cheese is melted.
Next, it’s time to eat.
Serve warm.

Ok. You had me at the picture “add the jalapenos and salsa”! I’m sold and ready to go home and make this. (Yes, I’m at the office drooling!).
