Sourdough with gooey cheese, tangy kimchi, and buttery crunch creates a bold, satisfying fusion sandwich.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread & Dairy
01 - 4 slices sourdough or country bread
02 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 - 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
04 - 2 slices mozzarella cheese
→ Vegetables & Condiments
05 - 1/2 cup kimchi, chopped and well-drained
06 - 1 tablespoon sliced scallions, optional
→ Additional (optional)
07 - 1 teaspoon gochujang Korean chili paste
08 - 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
# Steps to Follow:
01 - Spread unsalted butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
02 - Combine gochujang and mayonnaise in a small mixing bowl (if using), then spread the mixture on the unbuttered side of two bread slices.
03 - Place 2 slices of sharp cheddar and 1 slice of mozzarella on the unbuttered side of each prepared bread slice.
04 - Scatter chopped kimchi evenly over the cheese, and top with sliced scallions if desired.
05 - Top the fillings with the remaining bread slices, ensuring the buttered side is facing out.
06 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low. Place sandwiches in the pan and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
07 - Remove sandwiches from heat. Let rest briefly, then slice and serve hot.
