Kimchi Grilled Cheese
Kimchi puts a tangy, slightly spicy, umami-rich Korean spin on the classic grilled cheese sandwich.
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 slices sourdough bread (or bread of your choice)
- mayonnaise
- 1/2 – 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup kimchi, drained and chopped
Instructions
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Thinly spread mayonnaise on one side of both slices of bread. Place the bread mayonnaise side down in the skillet. Carefully (the skillet is hot) place the shredded cheddar evenly on one slice of bread.
- Let it cook for a few minutes until the cheese starts to get melty. Top the cheese with the chopped kimchi—again, carefully. With a spatula, flip the other slice of toasting bread on top of the cheese-and-kimchi-laden slice. Press down slightly with the spatula and carefully flip the sandwich. Cook, turning as needed, until the bread is nicely browned and cheese melted.
- Slice grilled cheese sandwich into two parts (we like the diagonal cut), plate and serve. And maybe let it cool a couple of minutes before actually biting into it.
