Prepare the Hatch Chiles:
If using fresh Hatch chiles, roast them over an open flame until the skin is charred. Place them in a paper bag for about 10 minutes to steam, then peel and slice them open. Remove the seeds if desired.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese, followed by the sliced Hatch chiles. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the Sandwich:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Serve:
Remove from the skillet and let it sit for a minute before slicing. Enjoy your Hatch Chile Relleno Grilled Cheese while warm!
