Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 white onion sliced
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce divided
- 2 jalapeños sliced
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 8 slices bread
- 12 slices pepper jack cheese
- 1 cup crumbled jalapeno potato chips
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet, or griddle over medium-high heat. Add in onions and 2 tablespoons sriracha. Saute onions until soften and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove onions from pan and set aside. (Optional): toast jalapeno slices for 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together butter and remaining 1 tablespoon sriracha. Butter both sides of all 8 pieces of bread. Grill bread on a griddle over medium heat until 1 side of each piece is browned and toasted.
- Assemble the sandwiches with the one toasted side up, on the inside of the sandwich. Assemble with 1 slice of pepper jack, some of the sriracha onions, another slice of pepper jack cheese, jalapeno slices and crumbled jalapeno chips, topped with a final slice of pepper jack cheese. Place the top piece of bread with the toasted side down.
- Grill until the outside pieces of bread are toasted and the cheese is melted, flipping halfway through.
