Ingredients

  • 4 large jalapeno peppers
  • 4 large slices sourdough bread
  • 6 ounces sliced oven roasted turkey breast leftovers are GREAT for this!
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ΒΌ cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese cheddar is good, too
  • 4 strips cooked bacon
  • Sliced tomato for serving
  • Mayo if desired

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Stem the jalapenos peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the cores.
  • Set them onto a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes to soften. Remove and cool.
  • Spread nearly an ounce of cream cheese over 2 slices of the sourdough bread. These will be the sandwich bottoms.
  • Next, top them with sliced turkey.
  • Spread the remaining jalapeno halves with cream cheese and set them over the top of the turkey.
  • Sprinkle each with paprika, garlic powder and black pepper.
  • Top with shredded cheese, then bacon.
  • Set onto a baking sheet with the other sourdough bread slices and bake for 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread toasted.
  • Remove, top with sliced tomato, mayo if desired (I didn't use it) and serve.
