Step 2 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place jalapeños onto the prepared baking sheet, cut side down. Place into oven and roast just until the skin has blackened, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before peeling off the skin. Step 3 Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Step 4 Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray. Step 5 With a butter knife, spread cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread. Working in batches, place slices, cream cheese side up, into the waffle iron. Top with jalapeños, bacon, cheese, and remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down. Close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Step 6 Serve immediately.
