You can customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of hot sauce and cayenne pepper to suit your taste.

Ingredients:

• 8 slices sandwich bread (white, Texas Toast, or your choice)
  
  

• 2 cups cooked chicken breasts, shredded (rotisserie chicken works well)
  
  

• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  
  

• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  
  

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  
  

• ½ teaspoon paprika
  
  

• ½ cup Frank's hot sauce
  
  

• ½ cup homemade or store-bought ranch dressing
  
  

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  
  

• 4 tablespoons butter
  
  

• 4-8 slices muenster cheese
  
  

• 4 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
  
  

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, blue cheese, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir to combine and set aside.
   
   

2. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded chicken, hot sauce, ranch dressing, and minced garlic. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
   
   

3. Take the slices of bread and spread butter on one side of each slice.
   
   

4. Flip the bread over and spread the cream cheese mixture on four slices of bread.
   
   

5. Top the cream cheese layer with the buffalo chicken mixture, using about ½ cup for each sandwich.
   
   

6. On the remaining slices of bread, place one or two slices of muenster cheese and close the sandwiches.
   
   

7. Heat a large skillet over low heat and spray with cooking spray.
   
   

8. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
   
   

9. Remove from the pan and serve with extra buffalo sauce or ranch for dipping.
