Roasted Jalapeno and Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwich

By devogirl

Grilled cheese sandwiches are a great way to use up leftovers from other dishes. I had some queso fresco, jalapenos and avocados from previous meals and I didn’t want them to go to waste. I decided to make a sandwich out of them and what better sandwich than grilled cheese? I never realized queso fresco was such a great melted cheese since I had only eaten it crumbled. It turns out it slices really well and melts perfectly on sandwiches.

Ingredients

• 6 slices bread, cut in half
• 6-7 jalapenos, halved with seeds removed
• whole milk queso fresco, sliced thin
• 2 avocados, thinly sliced or mashed
• Sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

1.On the broiler setting, roast the jalapenos cut side down for about 5-6 minutes, or until the jalapenos are just starting to char.

2.Place a few slices of cheese on one slice of bread. Add the jalapenos on top.

3.On the other slice of bread, spread a thin layer of sour cream.

4.Assemble the sandwich and grill for several minutes until the cheese is melted.

5.Add the avocado slices onto the sandwich after grilling.
