Jalapeño Popper Grilled Cheese
RECIPE COURTESY OF JEFF MAURO
Level: Easy
Total: 35 min
Prep: 10 min
Inactive: 5 min
Cook: 20 min
Yield: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
6 jalapenos, cut in half lengthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1 cup shredded aged Cheddar
8 slices country white bread
2 tablespoons salted butter
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the jalapenos with 1 tablespoon olive oil, some salt and pepper and lay skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the skin is blistered, 10 to15 minutes. Place in a plastic baggie for about 5 minutes loosen the skin. Pull off the skin, remove the majority of seeds and ribs, and slice. Set aside.
Spread the mascarpone on 4 slices of bread and divide the Cheddar among the other 4 slices. Divide the sliced jalapenos among the 4 sandwiches. Close, and butter both sides of the bread.
Heat half of the remaining oil on a flat griddle over medium heat. Grill one side of the sandwiches until golden. Remove, heat the remaining oil and repeat with the second side until golden and the insides are all melty and gooey.

Finally, a normal grilled cheese from someone on this channel!

[@289pinto]

Good video. Buy what's up with the aspect ratio or something is off.

[@pandorasactor7127]

Its an old tv footage diferent aspect ration to youtube

[@noho_hank7627]

Its been stretched to UA-cam's default 16:9 aspect ratio. I think this show was originally filmed in 4:3 aspect ratio.

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris9623]

I love Jeff❤️He’s a funny guy.

[@etceteracookingstudio8837]

[@stellasrecipe_foodstylistt1175]

Looks so yummy 😋 Thanks for the nice recipe😊 Seems like he really enjoy cooking

[@TheeKaylaMarieOne]

I added chorizo and caramelised onion to mine and my goooshhhh 😌

[@theartist124]

I make them with Fresno Chilis🌶or sometimes with Pepperchini's which adds the vinegar element, good stuff!

[@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342]

I used diced chipotles with a bit of the adobo mixed into the cream cheese, along with some nice crispy bacon. Life-changing moment, there.

[@cassondralynch6342]

@@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342 Ooooh, that sounds delicious. I've never thought of combining adoba and cream cheese, only mayo. Yum!

[@christopherowens4007]

GENIUS 🤯

[@kylie2688]

We love jeff and his dad , we need more please

[@sandraprudames4098]

Jeff I miss your show loved to watch with my sons. How is Lorenzo ? I remember the episode where you went to Wisconsin leaving the cheese store with the cheese heads.

[@PapaKryptoss]

Oh my goodness. I'm trying this

[@norinemueller4588]

Looks so yummy going to try this. Can you use reg cream cheese?

[@adamjackson5377]

Bring this show back!!! The best thing I ate

[@whatsnewneha]

The best thing ever 🤩

[@TheSteve1126]

I love Jeff because he makes the kind of food I want

[@jayadams7054]

OMG yummm🤤

[@tatyyehayis5698]

Nice

[@maylourentofficial]

If he will be my husband, I will gain a lot of weight 😂 yum🥰🤤

[@nikolai9520]

Made it...and will say it is more filling than a regular grilled cheese.
I would suggest some additional tweeks. Instead of marscarpone, try kaymak; a tad sourer and thicker. Under all that shredded cheddar, add a sprinkle of quality Greek feta to add saltiness and a different texture to the gooeyness of the cheeses.
I added a little splash of scorpion pepper sauce under the cheddar to make my nose sweat.

[@ezrabrooks12]

LOOK'D GOOD!!!!!!

[@JG_SmileSOBright]

That would be so good with shredded pot roast under the jalapenos

[@frankiechileman479]

I do mine with roasted habanero

[@LabH2ODawg]

That looks amazing, WOW! 🤤 I’m gonna have to try this for sure, but instead of buttering the outside, Duke’s mayo would be a must.

[@yennisopheialestaris.h335]

Jalapeno and cheese, double decker.

[@hanj31]

I’ll take mine with some bacon inside as well.

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

I would get all jalapeno face with a cheesy joke...
But I don't want to get *GRILLED!*

[@redhood8275]

I tried your cookie brownie recipe, it came out awesome

[@matthewketelhut4966]

🤤

[@homehearthwithjules8596]

Add crispy bacon😁

[@ffic4life]

Looks good but change the marscapone for cream cheese and you’re solid

[@stephaniedoster6952]

Yess I’ve never heard of this and made it the other day. Made it with cream cheese, cheddar cheese bacon and jalapeños 😍

[@stephaniedoster6952]

Thought I created a masterpiece

[@kaydencelynae]

Hi

[@joanneganon7157]

Where is Jeff, he's awesome , 🙌💥
JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@pandathepitty8521]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@yennisopheialestaris.h335]

Ya

[@Steve-bv1to]

Needs more cheese! Or maybe a little cheese on the outside to give it a nice cheese skirt...

[@Knuisance]

Fix the Aspect please

[@OhioBoy1440]

The seeds have no spice, it’s the placenta that contains the spice.

[@mikeritter2979]

Bacon 🥓

[@bearbears3047]

I always thought he looks like jimmy fallon

[@ChristaErika]

You forgot the bacon..or Bacon Bits

[@northkaisub3912]

why they uploaded this video again.?

[@infamuznoush]

He didn't "invent" this lol I've making these since I was a kid. I make cheese quesadillas the same way.

[@lacroix1553]

🤦‍♂️that's not a grilled cheese it's a Melt

[@kaydencelynae]

First

[@roj0179]

NO Bacon??? - Nope!

[@roxannestein9533]

Looks so yummy but I think a tomato might make it even tastier.

[@G00NIE]

Can u just make the dam sandwich next time?

[@yongyea4147]

Too much lame dialogue

[@marylist9732]

The best way to make a good grilled cheese sandwich is not to turn it into a "burnt sacrifice unto the Lord".
