Best Kimchi Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipes
KIMCHI GRILLED CHEESE
Spicy heat plays well with melty cheese (think: queso dip, stuffed jalapeños, Buffalo wings and blue cheese). Here, kimchi and mozzarella cheese come together for a twist on the classic grilled cheese. Mildly flavored mozzarella is an especially good choice in this recipe because it lets the kimchi shine, but you could also add 1/4 cup of grated Cheddar, Monterey Jack or even pepper Jack for more kick. If you have grilled steak, roasted vegetables or practically any other savory leftover in your fridge, chop it up and add about 1/4 cup to your sandwich along with the kimchi. Smearing mayonnaise on the bread, instead of butter, might sound weird, but it won't burn as quickly as butter, allowing the cheese ample time to melt, and the bread to toast up to golden perfection.

Steps:
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Thinly spread 1 side of each slice of bread with 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise. Place the bread, mayonnaise-side-down, in the skillet and divide the mozzarella evenly over the slices.
- When the cheese has just melted (no individual shreds of cheese remain), 6 to 10 minutes, add the kimchi to one side. Use a spatula to top with the other slice of bread, cheese-side-down. Press with the spatula to meld, then let cook, covered, flipping as needed to prevent burning, until the bread is crusty-brown and the sandwich is warmed through, 2 to 4 minutes.

Steps:
- Shred the cheddar cheese on the large holes of a box grater.
- Add the kimchi to a small bowl and use kitchen shears to cut into small pieces.
- Butter both sides of each slice of bread.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kimchi and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the sugar and cook for an additional minute, stirring to incorporate. Transfer the kimchi to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
- Turn the heat to medium and add both slices of butter bread to the skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Flip the bread, then add the American cheese to one slice and all but 2 tablespoons of the cheddar cheese to the other slice. Top the American cheese with the kimchi and remaining 2 tablespoons cheddar. Cook until the cheese starts to melt and the underside of the bread begins to turn golden, 3-4 minutes.
- Sandwich the slices of bread together and cook, flipping once, for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is gooey and fully melted and the bread is well-toasted.
- Transfer to a cutting board and cut in half.
- Enjoy!
