Grilled Cheese with Pancetta and Roasted Jalapeños
OMG, these are the most delicious grilled cheese sandwiches ever! The combination of pancetta and roasted jalapeños is divine! Obviously eliminate the pancetta if you want to make them vegetarian.. otherwise definitely make this sandwich- it is awesome. Make sure you make the soup as well from yesterday…
- 5 to 6 fresh jalapenos, sliced in half
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the jalapenos onto a lined cookie sheet. Drizzle the oil and add a pinch of salt. Roast in oven for 30 minutes. Let cool and keep aside.
- 6 to 8 pancetta slices
Heat a frying pan and add the pancetta slices. Cook on medium heat till pancetta is golden brown and crispy. Take out and keep aside.
- Loaf of Italian bread, sliced
- Butter, room temperature
- Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- Mozzarella cheese, grated
Butter one side of each of the two slices. Put the two slices butter side down onto a frying pan. Add both the cheeses, as many jalapenos as you want and a slice or two of the pancetta. Cook the grilled cheese and serve with tomato soup.
