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
- Drain the kimchi very well, squeezing out excess liquid so the sandwiches do not become soggy. Coarsely chop it. (about 3 min)
- Place 2 ounces of cheddar and 1/4 cup kimchi between each pair of bread slices, making 4 sandwiches. (about 3 min)
- Spread the butter evenly over the outside of each sandwich. (about 2 min)
- 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
- 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
