Kimchi Grilled Cheese

Step 1

Brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil, all the way to the edges of the crust.

Step 2

Flip two slices of bread over (oiled side down) and spread a quarter of the cheese on each slice.

Step 3

Divided the squeezed kimchi and chopped scallion between the two slices, and then cover with the remaining cheese.

Step 4

Place the remaining slices of bread on top, oiled side up, to complete the sandwiches.

Step 5

Arrange the sandwiches (in batches, if necessary) in a heavy bottomed frying pan, then use another heavy frying pan (such as a cast iron skillet) on top to press down.

Step 6

Grill the sandwiches over medium heat, until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.

Step 7

Remove the weighted pan, flip the sandwiches over, and then reapply the weight. Continue grilling until the second side is golden brown.

Step 8

Slice sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
