Step-by-Step Instructions for Ultimate Chopped Grilled Cheese

Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4-5 strips of bacon, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy.
On a cutting board, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese, chopped bacon, 1 cup of cheddar, 3 tablespoons of chives, and diced jalapeño. Mix until well blended.
Take two slices of sourdough bread and spread the creamy filling over one slice. Place the second slice on top and press down gently.
Preheat the skillet if not warm. Place the sandwich in the skillet and toast for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip to toast until golden brown.
Once toasted and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich and let it rest for a minute. Slice diagonally and serve warm.
