This fun and blisteringly hot take on a grilled cheese sandwich really scores with The Hockey News staff. Mark Brender, head senior writer, says most hockey fans like spicy snacks, and he always has a bottle of hot pepper sauce handy to pep up his gametime snacks.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 chipotle pepper
  • 1 tsp adobo sauce
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 16 slices cheddar cheese bread or white bread, crusts removed
  • 8 thin slices Cheddar cheese, about 6 oz/175 g)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened

Preparation

In blender or mini food processor, purée together tomato paste, chipotle pepper, abodo sauce and green onions. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.)

Spread scant teaspoonful (5 mL) tomato mixture over each slice of bread. Top half with cheese; top with remaining bread slices, tomato side down. Spread butter on tops and bottoms. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 hours.)

Arrange sandwiches on large rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Cut lengthwise into 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide sticks.

Tips:
If you can't find chipotles (canned smoked jalapeño peppers in adobo sauce), use 1 tbsp (15 mL) each minced jalapeño pepper and barbecue sauce instead.

Look for sliced Cheddar cheese in the deli section.
