Description

A savory sandwich made with roasted Anaheim peppers, gooey cheddar cheese and garlic artisan bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Anaheim Pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
  • 4 slices Garlic Flavored Batard Bread (about ½” Thick Slices)
  • 4 ounces, weight Shredded Or Sliced Cheddar Cheese, Mild In Flavor, Divided.

Preparation

Place your pepper on a grill or over a gas burner. Cook until the skin is charred and pepper is soft, turning the pepper to cook evenly. Place the pepper in a Ziplock bag, and seal for 30 minutes. The steam will make the skin come off. After 30 minutes, gently peel the skin off the pepper. I used a paper towel to get the excess skin off. Whatever you do, do not run the pepper under water. Cut the pepper in half and gently scrape the seeds out. Then cut the pepper into strips.

Take 2 tablespoons of butter and place in a microwave safe bowl. Melt the butter for about 20 seconds or so. Set aside.

Heat a medium skillet with a lid over medium low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let the butter melt.

Meanwhile brush one side of half of the slices of bread with butter and place that side down onto the skillet. Top each slice of bread with half of the pepper slices and half of the cheese. Top the cheese with another slice of bread and butter the top side of the bread. Place lid over skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the sandwich and cook for another 2 minutes. Take the sandwich out of the skillet and serve.
