Ingredients

  • 4 slices slices Sourdough bread
  • 6 oz oz Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cup Kimchi
  • 2 tbsp tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp tbsp Mayonnaise(optional)
  • 1 stalk Green onions(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chop the kimchi into small pieces and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture (about 5 minutes).

  2. 2

    Butter one side of each bread slice (or spread with mayonnaise for extra crispness).

  3. 3

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place two slices of bread butter-side down, then layer with cheddar, chopped kimchi, more cheddar, and top with remaining bread slices butter-side up.

  4. 4

    Grill 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is golden and cheese is fully melted.

  5. 5

    Slice in half, garnish with sliced green onions if using, and serve hot.
