I want to share this recipe for an easy and quick
kimchi grilled cheese that I make all the time. Hot, gooey, chewy, cheese is like an injeolmi rice cake, and with crispy, sour, spicy
kimchi, it’s irresistible.
Ever since I made my own homemade bread, I did so many kinds of experiments on how to use it in toast and sandwiches and of course
grilled cheese! I was very happy when I made
grilled cheese with my homemade bread, I felt like I really owned it because I used my homemade
kimchi, too. I first started making
grilled cheese the traditional way with cheddar cheese, but when I added a Korean kick of well-fermented
kimchi the result was too salty. So I tried mozzarella instead and it was so good.
A lot of people burn their
grilled cheese, so I figured out a few tips on how to make a perfect
grilled cheese every time. First, make sure everything is hot before adding the cheese. Check out my video and my instructions below to see how I do this. That way, the cheese will melt quickly and your bread won’t burn. The second tip is to add the butter last. Adding it last gives the
grilled cheese a nice finishing buttery flavor without burning the bread.
You can use this recipe method for normal
grilled cheese without the
kimchi, and it will still be great. And if any of you can’t handle spicy
kimchi, then rinse off the spiciness in cold water, squeeze out excess water, chop it up, and use it. It will still have a crispy-crunchy texture.
