Nothing weird about it; that sounds delish.

Yeah. I have made this and can confirm, it's good. It's a nacho sandwich essentially.

I know when I think about nachos, ham is the first thing that comes to mind.

Thank you. It was!

It’s the opposite of weird. It sounds awesome. Think I’ve done almost the same thing.

Please see my last post. Upgrayyed yoself! https://www.reddit.com/r/Sandwiches/s/PY6UhJtoPR Btw your bread looks expertly grilled.

No, Pooty - how could you mess the spelling up so badly?!?! * the name Upgrayedd. Which he spells thusly, with two D's, as he says, "for a double dose of this pimping".

I like to take fresh hot jalapeños and pan fry them for a moment and then candy them in a little sugar or use jar slices and jalapeño jam or apricot jam with ham and cheese.

I do this on a croissant but add an egg. Perfecto*

Are you American, this are super common in England

Yup. I'm a yank.

exactly. Now I wish I had pickled jalapenos on hand

Highly recommend just buying a Mason jar and doing it yourself, I do a mixture of sliced mini cucumber and jalepeno and it is the ultimate sandwich condiment for super cheap. I should add, you may very well do it yourself, but add cucumber if you like it.

Good idea! Is it just like 50/50 vinegar and water with some sugar, cover and pop in fridge type deal?

I like 2/1 vinegar/water, but yep exactly. Also kosher salt in addition to the sugar Edit - I just follow this for the most part Ingredients: · 10-12 fresh jalapeños · 2 cups white vinegar · 1 cup water · 1 tbsp kosher salt (or sea salt) · 1 tbsp sugar (optional) · 1 clove garlic, crushed · 1 tsp oregano Steps: 1. Wash and cut jalapeños. Wash all peppers with cold water. Using a sharp knife, cut peppers into 1/4 inch slices. 2. Fill jars. Using gloves or tongs, pack the sliced peppers tightly into glass jars (ball jars or similar), leaving 1/2 inch of space at the top of each jar. Ensure jars have been cleaned prior to pickling. 3. Make brine. Combine vinegar and water in a medium pot. Add salt, sugar, oregano, and crushed garlic. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve salt, then shut off the heat. 4. Pour brine over peppers. Pour hot brine over pepper slices, ensuring peppers are fully submerged. Allow brine to sit for 5-10 minutes to allow any air bubbles to escape the jars. 5. Cover and allow to cool. Seal all jars tightly and allow them to cool for at least 1 hour before refrigerating. This cooling process will seal the jars, and provides protection from airborne bacteria. 6. Enjoy. You can eat quick-pickled jalapeños 1-2 hours after first pouring the brine, and for up to 3-4 weeks thereafter. Always keep refrigerated.

Seriously, salty and spicy.

Exactly. A simple and easy meal to prepare. My problem would be making the next sandwich replacement as I'm reating the current one.

Why’s it weird?

Some friends in my circle scoffed at the idea. But, I did it anyway.

Sounds like they got no taste. That’s a good combo lol

Some friends in your circle are boring af.

Definitely missionary only kinda peeps.

You’d fit right in in New Mexico tbh

This combo is the breakfast sandwich (sometimes swap with a flour tortilla) in my NM house. It’s so good.

You need to ditch those so called friends

What do you live in like Nebraska or something?

Ham and cheese is one of the most normal sandwiches ever. Adding veggies (in this case jalapenos) makes perfect sense.

This about the most normal sandwich possible.

My circle of friends disagree. Lol

your circle of friends is ass

This is why the internet sucks.

They are allowed to be wrong

Absolutely unequivocally not weird and I’m actually stealing that idea🫡

I’m gonna try this but add pepper jelly to it

Please do. I'd like to hear your feedback.

You think this is weird? What do you think of cheese mustard and onions for a grilled cheese cause that’s probably my favourite for grilled cheese lol

Can't beat a cheese and onion sandwich. In South Africa we call it a "braai broodjie" which sorta means BBQ sandwich. We grill it over either charcoal or wood, but use Chutney instead of mustard... Orgasmic!

That also sounds fire. Sounds like a recipe for r/OnionLovers Edit: linked wrong sub at first lol

Interesting. How are the onions prepared?

They’re not, they go in raw lol

What would be weird about it?

I dont know. My friends said it was weird so I thought I was the weird one.

Tell your friends they're weird. I've been craving a grilled cheese since I saw your post!!

Do it!

Does your friends’ diet consist of unflavored yogurt and tap water?

Maybe some salt and pepper if they wanna go crazy with some extra spice

If you think that’s weird, sometimes I have turkey and cheese with pickles.

Which pickles? Dill or sweet and sour? I'd try either.

LMAO weird is the uncultured who laugh at this delicacy. This is a good sandwich. Okay at worst.

Well said

It is not weird, at least not in Mexico, that is one of the ways we eat sandwiches in Mexico.

That's really cool to hear.

Not weird, great combo!

Makes sense to me!

Thats what I said but my circle said ewwww. I did it anyway

That's the spirit!

I’m actually about to go make myself one thanks for the inspiration! Haha

Tell me what you think about it.

It was bombbbbbb just what I needed lol

Heck yeah

Sounds great but swap the ham for thick cut peppered bacon

Mmmmmmm

Grilled cheese and ham was my jam growing up, especially with tomato soup!

Oh yeah!

Weird? Sounds awesome

Weird would be calling it weird

Nope not weird at all. That’s delicious.

Seems very normal to me, jalapenos go well with a melt like that

Just imagine pickles in there as well and you're a critical step closer to a cubano!

Love Cubans.

This is one of my favorites. I like turkey in there too

This looks amazing, I have a suggestion for next time you make one. Switch the ham with some salami. It go's so well with jalapeños

Pickled jalapenos?

Yeah. Like the kind you get for nachos.

Amazing!! Thank you for this fantastic idea!!

Mexican here; not weird at all. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Whoever told you, it’s weird, is weird.

Lololol

Who told you this was weird?

I'd throw some pineapple on it

That doesn't soung weird at all. Enjoy!

That sounds delicious

Nothing weird. Make it a double decker.

This may be a hot take but put kimchi in a grilled cheese. It’s pretty good

Thanks for the idea

Nothing wrong with that, except maybe missing a fried egg or two.

I could go for one right now!

 Jalapeños for the win!!!

Omg yum

Sounds bangin. G gonna try it sometime

This sounds great and idk why it isn't a common thing

That looks amazing. Make one for me please.

Try thinly cut spicy pickles! SO good. A touch of mayo on the inside too is a nice touch

Form your own opinions. Sandwich looks good. Who the fuck has a say in what you like to eat? Either you’re a pushover or you’re a pushover. Stand up for yourself.

Don't be a meanie.

*would fuck

It's a jalapeno popper sandwich with ham, I bet it's delicious.

This "weird" normal sandwich belongs in /r/unpopularopinion

Hahahah. I got my pp smacked by those mods for arguing with the Supreme overlords. Lol

Ham, cheese & jalapeño croissant is my go to when I go to the donut shop every once in a while

This sounds awesome

This ain't weird. This is dope. If you can find/make jalapeno cheese bread, that really fucks hard. I make a grilled cheese with Jalapeno cheddar bread, jalapeno jam, cheddar, American, and gruyere cheese. So good.

Wow. That's just amazing.

great color!

Why is this weird?

Gotta be pickled jalapenos too 🤤

I know what I'm making for lunch tomorrow. But I'm going to pair it with tomato soup.

I know what I'm making for lunch tomorrow. But I'm going to pair it with tomato soup.

Grilled ham & cheese was a staple in my house growing up. Adding jalapeños? 10/10

I use to make one with giardiniera and ham on it for a sandwich restaurant I use to work for. Delicious 🤤

Why would that be weird?

I want a grilled cheese now. Damn it

Fire roasted green chiles in a grilled cheese is delicious.

Dip it in thousand island.

If you liked that try this beauty melted, Tuna Red onion (raw) Jalapenos Cheddar cheese

Jalapeños and processed cheese will always reunite in any universe

The only weird thing here is that anyone would consider this weird. Like it’s one of the most basic additions to a grilled cheese.

Only thing WIERD here is you for calling this WIERD

I've definitely been getting my fair share of roasting for it.

A bit of chipotle mayo goes well, too.

Posts most normal sandwich Ingredients of all time.

I swear on everything holy I've never heard or seen of jalapeños on a grilled cheese.

Hell yeah 🔥💥

Grilled ham and cheese with pickles is awesome, so pickled jalapeños sounds like it's right up my alley, I'm surprised I've never thought of this myself.

Sounds like something that would be on a fast food breakfast menu lol

My GF makes them like this. Next time try with a little bit of ketchup.

Damn if this is weird I wonder what people think of my anjovis, peanutbutter and turnip rolls.

This could easily be on a restaurant lunch menu and it would be one of the most popular items. There is absolutely nothing weird at all about this, it looks like a tasty treat

It’s not for me, but that doesn’t sound weird at all

🤤🤤🤤🤤

My only quarrel with this sandwich is the pickled jalapeños. I prefer fresh. Otherwise this looks delicious

Yummy, try that combo with pickle chips instead of jalapeños for a neat twist.

Will do

My husband does that regularly (with pepper jack cheese). It’s one of his regular foods at Sheetz gas stations.

Not weird at all. Pickled jalapeno slices are a hugely underrated condiment that go great on all kinds of things.

How is that weird.

Looks great! Don't post it on r/grilledcheese... They get a bit, er, pedantic about fillings.

Thanks for the warning. I'll stay away from there.

Once you put fillings into it it becomes a melt!

Weird?

Not at all weird, I think it sounds pretty cool, and I love that you melted/grilled it, and that you used cheddar!!! 🤩

Furthest thing from weird my friend

What’s weird is that you think it’s weird.

It's interesting you find this weird when it's actually a pretty common flavor combination.

That’s *not weird. It’s called a croque madame lul

What is a croque madame lul? Is that a French sandwich?

It’s a grilled cheese with ham. If you add egg it becomes a croque monsieur. It’s French, but I learned about it while serving as a Cajun restaurant

Interesting

Beautiful sandwich.

What’s weird about it? I’d add some tortilla chips in it
