Ingredients

• 2 Hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, and seeds removed
• 4 slices of sourdough or your favorite bread
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese

What to do with them...

1. Prepare the Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded Mexican blend cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches:  Spread the cheese filling on one side of two slices of bread.
3. Layer the roasted Hatch green chiles on top of the cheese filling.
4. Add a slice of cheddar and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on top of the chiles.
5. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
6. Butter the Bread: Spread the softened butter on the outside of each slice of bread.
7. Cook the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and melting.
8. Enjoy!
