Great sandwich! I use pepperoncini instead of the jalapenos, preferring a more subtle heat without forsaking that great vinegar twang.

Very tasty and easy to make... you might want to lower the jalapeños for the wimpys

  • staff favorite STAFF FAVORITE
TOTAL TIME: 30 MIN
MAKES 4 SANDWICHES
ingredients
  • 3 chorizo sausages (6 ounces), thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 slices of sourdough bread, cut from a pullman loaf
  • 6 ounces Pepper Jack cheese, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons drained and sliced pickled jalapeños
  • 6 ounces Havarti cheese, thinly sliced
directions
  1. In a large skillet, cook the sliced chorizo over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Drain the chorizo on paper towels and wipe out the skillet.
  2. Butter the bread on 1 side and turn 4 slices buttered side down on a work surface. Top with Pepper Jack, chorizo, pickled jalapeños and Havarti. Close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, turning the buttered side up.
  3. Preheat 2 large skillets. Add the sandwiches and cook over moderate heat, turning once, until the bread is golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
