Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush jalapeños with olive oil and place cut-side down on the baking sheet; roast for 15 minutes until slightly charred.
Remove from the oven, cool, chop, and mix with cream cheese, garlic salt, black pepper, and onion powder in a bowl.
Assemble sandwiches: butter one side of bread, spread cream cheese mixture on the unbuttered side, add bacon and cheddar cheese before topping with another slice of bread (buttered side out).
Cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
