Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pieces white bread
1/2 cup grated Cheddar
1/4 cup kimchi, drained and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Top 1 piece of bread with 1/4 cup grated Cheddar, kimchi, the remaining 1/4 cup grated Cheddar, and then the other slice of bread. Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise over the top slice, then add to the skillet mayonnaise-side down and cook for 3 minutes, pressing slightly to flatten. Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on the top slice of bread, flip, and cook until golden, another 3 minutes. Quarter the sandwich and serve.

KIMCHI GRILLED CHEESE

Spicy heat plays well with melty cheese (think: queso dip, stuffed jalapeƱos, Buffalo wings and blue cheese). Here, kimchi and mozzarella cheese come together for a twist on the classic grilled cheese. Mildly flavored mozzarella is an especially good choice in this recipe because it lets the kimchi shine, but you could also add 1/4 cup of grated Cheddar, Monterey Jack or even pepper Jack for more kick. If you have grilled steak, roasted vegetables or practically any other savory leftover in your fridge, chop it up and add about 1/4 cup to your sandwich along with the kimchi. Smearing mayonnaise on the bread, instead of butter, might sound weird, but it won't burn as quickly as butter, allowing the cheese ample time to melt, and the bread to toast up to golden perfection.

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 slices bread, either soft sandwich bread or large rustic slices, not more than 1/2-inch thick
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated mozzarella, Cheddar or other mild, semifirm cheese
1/4 cup drained and coarsely chopped kimchi

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Thinly spread 1 side of each slice of bread with 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise. Place the bread, mayonnaise-side-down, in the skillet and divide the mozzarella evenly over the slices.
  • When the cheese has just melted (no individual shreds of cheese remain), 6 to 10 minutes, add the kimchi to one side. Use a spatula to top with the other slice of bread, cheese-side-down. Press with the spatula to meld, then let cook, covered, flipping as needed to prevent burning, until the bread is crusty-brown and the sandwich is warmed through, 2 to 4 minutes.
