Grilled Kimcheese Recipes

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!

Steps:

• Butter your bread as needed for your panini maker (mine doesn't require any). Lay down all four slices of bread on a cutting board, butter side down, and place a slice of cheese on each. Top two of the slices with kimchi and pear slices. Drizzle with a little Sriracha if you like. Top with the other bread slices to make two sandwiches.
• Press in a panini maker. If you don't have one, you may set a medium skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, then lay the sandwiches in the pan and cook, pressing with a spatula from time to time, until the undersides are golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Repeat on the other side, and transfer to a plate.
