Jalapeno Popper Sandwiches

This is a fun take on the traditional jalapeno popper, and it's a super easy recipe to prepare - it only takes about 30 minutes. While the recipe doesn't call for any protein (and it is fabulous without it), don't be afraid to try adding some!  Bacon is a perfect accompaniment, though shrimp would be yum as well.  Oh, and don't skimp on the bread...K and I only had a French loaf on hand when making these, and while they were delicious, the bread wasn't quite sturdy enough to hold up to all the gooey goodness.
