I didn't really measure how much shredded marble I used. I estimated 1/2 C, but use your own judgement. You can't go wrong with more cheese lol
You could use a grill pan for the sandwich but make sure to start it while preheating, otherwise the outside will finish long before the inside warms up.
This recipe is per sandwich. Easy to make more depending on how many poppers you have left from the recipe.

Start to preheat a skillet set to just below medium. In the meantime, slather both pieces of sourdough with margarine on one side. On the bottom slice, sprinkle about 1/4 C shredded marble followed by 3 of the leftover, cold jalapeno poppers. Sprinkle approximately another 1/4 C marble on top of the poppers followed by some sliced red onion. Close the sammie up with the margarine side up and lay some jalapeno rings on the slice, gently pressing them in.
Flip your sandwich so that the side with the jalapenos is face down in the skillet. While that starts to sizzle, press some jalapeno slices in to the other side. The skillet should be hot, but not entirely preheated. This will allow the insides to come to temp before the outside of the sammie gets too dark.
Fry up the sandwich for about 5 minutes. Check the sandwich often to ensure it is getting gorgeously golden without blackening. Once it's nice and golden, carefully flip it and continue to cook on the opposite side until cheese is melty and the second side is golden perfection. Remove it from the skillet carefully and get in on you cutting board. Slice it in half and serve.
ENJOY!
