Not only will you be dreaming about this kimchi grilled cheese for days to come, but once you try it with mayonnaise, you’ll never make any kind of grilled cheese sandwich again with buttered bread.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, once hot, sauté a
quarter cup of chopped kimchi in a teaspoon of butter. After a few minutes,
remove and set aside.
Spread an even layer of mayonnaise on one side of your
bread slices then place them in the hot pan, mayonnaise side down. Top one of
the slices with a half a cup of shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese, and the other
with the sauteed kimchi. If you like spicy, now’s the time for a squirt or two
of Sriracha.
After a minute or two, flip the cheesy slice on top of the
kimchi slice to make your sandwich. Turn down the heat to low and cook for
another couple of minutes, pressing down with a spatula for maximum browning.
Flip and do the same on the other side, then remove and serve immediately.
For a more substantial meal, you could also add some thinly
sliced steak, chicken, or tofu.
