Grilled Cheese with Candied Jalapeños & Sharp Cheddar

Ingredients

4 slices hearty sandwich bread (such as sourdough or Texas toast)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tbsp Texan Heartland Texan Candy Candied Jalapeños, sliced or chopped
1 tsp Texan Candy syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

Directions

Prepare bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Assemble sandwiches: Place half the shredded cheese on two unbuttered sides of bread. Add Texan Heartland Candied Jalapeños and drizzle with syrup if desired. Top with remaining cheese and bread slices, buttered side facing out.
Grill sandwiches: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden and crisp and cheese is melted.
Slice & serve: Cut in half and enjoy hot, with candied jalapeños on the side if desired.
