Ingredients
Bread slices (white, sourdough, or your favorite sandwich bread)
Cheese slices (cheddar, American, or a mix)
Butter, softened
Kimchi, roughly chopped (about 1/4 cup per sandwich)
Instructions
- Chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Layer on the cheese.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Grill until golden brown on both sides and the cheese has melted, about 5–7 minutes total.
- Open the sandwich and add the cold, chopped kimchi inside.
- Close and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use mozzarella for a milder, stretchy cheese effect.
- White kimchi offers a less spicy option.
- Add sesame seeds on top for a nutty crunch.
- Mix a little gochujang into the cheese layer for extra heat.
- Blot kimchi lightly before adding to prevent sogginess.
