Ingredients
4
large jalapenos
8
slices
sweet hawaiian bread
4
tbsp
butter
softened
8
slices
spicy cheddar cheese
24
dried figs
Instructions
Heat the broiler on the oven to high, then place the jalapenos on a baking sheet under the broiler.
Broil for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the skins are black and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and immediately place the jalapenos in a ziplock bag and seal shut.
Wait 5-10 minutes then remove the jalapenos from the bag.
When cool enough to touch, peel the jalapenos, remove the stem, slice open and remove the seeds and slice into 3-4 strips.
Butter one side of each slice of sweet Hawaiian bread.
Place a slice of cheese on the opposite side of each slice of bread.
On four of the slices of bread, place one sliced jalapeno and 6 dried figs.
Cover with the other slices of buttered bread with cheese.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and grease lightly.
Add the sandwiches and grill 3-4 minutes per side or until browned on the outside.
