1 small block of Havarti cheese
1 Beefsteak tomato, sliced
1 small jalapeno pepper
Multi-grain bread
Butter or margarine
Heat a medium sized skillet to medium heat.
Cut jalapeno in half, length-wise. Scoop out seeds with a small spoon. Slice each half into ΒΌ-inch wide strips. For less intense heat, you can "fillet" each strip by placing each one on your cutting board and slicing off the membrane (the fleshy part). You'll still have the flavor of the jalapeno, but not the burn.
Dice the strips of jalapeno
Cut a few slices of Havarti from the block
Place a couple of Havarti slices on one slice of bread
Sprinkle some of the diced jalapenos over the cheese
Place 2-3 tomato slices over the jalapenos
Sprinkle more jalapenos over the tomato
Place a couple more slices of the cheese over this
Top with a slice of bread
Add butter or margarine to pan. Optionally, you can do this with olive oil for a different kind of flavor.
Once butter is melted, place sandwich in pan. Optionally, and perhaps preferably, you can press the sandwich to the skillet with a spatula.
Heat each side until browned, until you see cheese starting to melt, or to your liking, whichever comes first.
One sandwich usually fills me up, but make as many as you like. Served best with a bowl of your favorite soup, and a friend.
