Ingredients
- 1 cup kimchi drained
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 slices sourdough bread or any bread of your preference
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 5 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a medium skillet. Add the kimchi, brown sugar and cook for another 2 minutes undisturbed. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
- Assemble your sandwiches: a slice of sourdough bread, two slices of each cheese, kimchi mixture, two slices of cheese, and another slice of sourdough bread on top.
- Spread butter on both sides of the sandwich.
- Heat the same skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut it if desired, and serve.
Notes
- Drain the kimchi well to avoid making the sandwich soggy.
- Use room temperature butter for easy spreading on the bread.
- Assemble the sandwich with cheese slices on both sides of the kimchi to keep the bread from getting too wet.
- Let the sandwich rest for a minute before cutting to allow the cheese to set slightly and prevent it from oozing out too much.
