Ingredients:

2 whole roasted Hatch green chiles

½ cup Oaxaca cheese, shredded or sliced

2 slices of cheddar cheese

2 slices sourdough bread

2 tablespoons butter, softened (for spreading)

Instructions:

Prepare the Chiles:

Stuff each roasted Hatch green chile with Oaxaca cheese.

Assemble the Sandwich:

Place the stuffed chiles on one slice of sourdough bread.

Top the chiles with a slice of cheddar cheese.

Cover with the second slice of bread.

Butter the Bread:

Spread softened butter on the outer sides of both slices of sourdough bread.

Grill the Sandwich:

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Place the sandwich on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.

Serve:

Slice in half and serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or side.

Notes:

Roasting Hatch Chiles: For the best flavor, roast the Hatch chiles on an open flame or under the broiler until their skins are charred. Let them steam in a covered bowl for easier peeling.
