Prep: 10 min · Cook: 10 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Stovetop

Ingredients

• 8 slices bread slices
• 1 cup kimchi
• 8 oz cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp butter

Cooking instructions

1. Drain the kimchi very well, squeezing out excess liquid so the sandwiches do not become soggy. Coarsely chop it. (about 3 min)
2. Place 2 ounces of cheddar and 1/4 cup kimchi between each pair of bread slices, making 4 sandwiches. (about 3 min)
3. Spread the butter evenly over the outside of each sandwich. (about 2 min)
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwiches in batches if needed until the bottoms are golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, 3 to 4 minutes. (about 4 min) — Medium-low heat
5. Flip the sandwiches and cook until the second sides are golden and the cheddar is fully melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve hot. (about 4 min) — Medium-low heat
