Ingredients:
- 2 large slices of sourdough bread
- 1 cup shredded cheese
-
- I used provolone, gruyere, and sharp cheddar
- 1/2 cup napa cabbage kimchi
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon cut into 8 strips
-
- Streaky/belly bacon is preferred over back/Canadian
Directions:
- Add the bacon strips to a cold pan before bringing the pan up to medium heat
- Render the fat from the bacon, flipping occasionally until desired crispiness is reached (I went for about 10 minutes total cook time)
- Remove the bacon from the pan and press the two slices of sourdough bread into the grease to toast them
- Flip once the bread begins to toast but before it becomes brown (I went for ~3 minutes)
- Flip the toast back and layer on your ingredients, starting with cheese on both pieces of toast, followed by bacon on one slice and kimchi on the other. Top the bacon with the rest of the cheese.
- Cover the pan, lower the stove to low heat, and allow cheeses to melt slightly before pressing the two halves together to form the sandwich
- Press the sandwich with a weight or a spatula and cook until the cheese has completely melted
- Remove from pan, cut in half diagonally, plate, and enjoy!
Everytime I hear Kimchi and Grilled cheese I think of Gordon’s Ultimate Grilled Cheese
I love Gordon Ramsay, but I don’t know how he still put this out.
Happens to the best of us. You can see in the video he doesn’t give a shit, perhaps even a little sick. He sounds out of breath and tired, like it’s 4 am. Funny the network went with it anyway, I’m sure Gordon thinks that was dumb
Super simple, but I bet it’s delicious. Thanks for posting!
Happy to share and join the community. :) Quick and straightforward recipes are a great way to taste test a new ingredient.
Yes very good point.
Is there anything kimchi can’t do?
I say we start throwing handfuls of kimchi at politicians and just see what happens. It might just fix them.
LOL it’s worth a shot!
