"Skirted" Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Looks good, eh?  I wanted a grilled cheese sandwich, but I didn't want a "classic" grilled cheese sandwich.  What to do?

This is a short article, and it's really all about the method, more than the ingredients.  Want to turn your grilled cheese up to 11?  I give you the "Ten Steps to the Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich!"  Let's do it:

You Will Need:

• A non-stick pan
• 2 slices of your favorite bread (I used whole grain wheat)
• 2 slices of American cheese
• 1 handful of shredded colby-jack cheese
• 1 Fresh Jalapeno, sliced
• 1/2 stick of butter (softened)

1. Place the pan on the burner, turn the burner to MEDIUM heat and melt 3/4 of the butter in the pan.  Toss in the jalapenos and let them sweat for awhile.  If you hear them "sizzle," the pan is too hot!  Let them soften and let the butter tame some of the heat in them.
2. Meanwhile, place both slices of American cheese onto slice 1 of the bread.  Top with slice 2 and spread the rest of the butter on the top of slice 2.
3. Top the butter with your handful of shredded cheese.  So, from the bottom up you should have: bread, 2x American cheese, bread, butter, shredded cheese.
4. Move the Jalapeno slices to the outer edge and push as much of the melted butter back into the middle of the pan.  
5. Carefully slide the sandwich off of a stiff spatula and into the pan.
6. Leave the heat on Medium and WATCH YOUR SANDWICH!  Do NOT go anywhere!  Let the butter do its magic on the bread and let the bread toast and caramelize, but do NOT let it burn.  Lift the corner every so often to check it. 
7. When it's GBD (Golden Brown, and Delicious), gird your loins and get ready for the fun part... in one swift motion, get the spatula under the sandwich, and quickly (but carefully), flip it over!! 
8. The cheese that you liberally sprinkled on top should now be on the bottom, in direct contact with the pan.  You should be staring at the perfectly toasted "bottom" of the sandwich.
9. Let the cheese on the bottom melt and spread out from under the sandwich a bit.  Let it caramelize and turn brown (not black).  You'll know when it's ready because your spatula will slide right under it.
10. Flip the sandwich back over and onto a plate.  Cut in half  (if desired).
