Instructions

Make the Buffalo Chicken Dip:

In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, cheddar, and mozzarella.
Stir until well combined and creamy.

2. Assemble the Melt:

Butter one side of each sourdough slice.
On the unbuttered side of one slice, scoop a generous layer of buffalo chicken dip.
Sprinkle extra shredded cheddar, bacon, crispy jalapeños, and blue cheese crumbles.
Drizzle with hot honey to taste.
Top with the remaining sourdough slices (buttered side facing out).

3. Cook the Melt:

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing slightly with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.

4. Serve:

Remove from heat, drizzle with more hot honey if desired, and cut in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy the spicy, smoky, and sweet flavors!
